I'm a classicist at heart. You'll never find me in 
pointed hats or chartreuse shoes. I crave things 
that last.. the lions outside the library, 
the Palm Court at the Plaza

the perfect polish of pearls and a

I need to make my evening. 

So cheers to Saks

Fax Mania 




BY DAVID BLUM 

"Can I fax this to you?" 
has become as American 
as "Have a nice day." All 
over the country, people 
are sending faxes: Listen- 
ers send them to WNEW- 
FM asking to hear a fa- 
vorite song; readers send 
them to the letters-to-the- 
editor department of 
Time; artist Peter Max 
(right) even sends doo- 
dles by fax. And faxes make people work faster. "Yes, fax has 
changed my life," says one corporate manager. "It has shortened it." 

A f\ Born on the Edge 

I VJ BY BERN1CE KANNER 

Two years ago, Bernice Kanner gave birth to twins seven weeks pre- 
maturely. Both spent time in Mount Sinai's neonatal-intensive-care 
unit, as do some 600 babies annually. She recently returned to the unit 
and learned that technological advances allow doctors to keep more 
preemies alive than ever before — and that new studies suggest that 
these children are also at risk for more health problems later in life.

Moishe Makes His Move 

BY KATHARINE DAVIS FISHMAN 

Israelis have taken over the mov- 
ing business with the same savvy 
that Koreans used to corner 
the fruit-and-vegetable market. 
The most successful company is 
six-year-old Moishe's, which 
moves 1,500 New Yorkers every 
month in its ubiquitous red trucks. 
Moishe's offers low rates, because 
it has nonunion employees (who 
can move your one-bedroom 
apartment at 2 a.m. on a Sunday).

No Place Like Home 

I READ WITH INTEREST MARILYN BETH- 

any's fine article "The Hot Suburbs" 
[October 31]. However, as a real-estate 
broker in Stamford, Connecticut, I 
was disappointed that our exciting, 
vibrant bedroom community was not 
mentioned. 

I commend Bethany's strategies for 
narrowing the myriad choices facing to- 
day's buyer. Further, her advice to first 
investigate a town's school system is ab- 
solutely correct. 

Understandably, we in Stamford are 
proud of our fine public-school system. 
Because we receive so many inquiries 
about our schools from newcomers, we 
have compiled, with assistance from 
the local board of education, a com- 
prehensive study, "Perspective on 
Education in Stamford," which an- 
swers the most frequently asked ques- 
tions. 

Richard landorek 
Vice-president 
(ohn Garrison Real Estate 
Stamford, Conn. 

I TAKE ISSUE WITH MARILYN BETHANY'S 

discriminatory statement "In New Jersey, 
it's New Jersey," followed by more barbs 
about the Garden State. We have the best 
of all worlds here in North Jersey: easy 
access to Manhattan (a fifteen-minute 
drive to the George Washington Bridge), 
great schools, swim clubs, hiking trails, 
tennis, golf, and good neighbors who 
care about one another. 

The beauty and quiet country living of 
our idyllic town has attracted many pro- 
fessional musicians, middle managers, 
and even Brooke Shields. Our homes are 
our castles, and if Bethany were to take a 
ride through this area and visit the play- 
grounds that teem with children playing 
soccer or tennis and romping with their 
dogs, or were she to visit the trails 
around our reservoir and smell the pine 
trees, maybe she'd have a different view 
of New Jersey. We are not the Turnpike 
or the ugly industrial areas that give us 
a bad rap. We don't need to send our 
children to private schools or private 
camps — we know our teachers, our po- 
lice force, and our volunteer fire depart- 
ment. 

So keep your "Yech, New Jersey" at- 
titudes. Our real-estate brokers don't 
have to "sell" our towns to pro-

WE TAKE EXCEPTION TO "THE HOT SUB- 

urbs,"in which you portray areas like the 
village of Pelham as prettier than Larch- 
mont. 

Obviously, Marilyn Bethany has never 
visited our waterfront community, which 
has many beautiful areas: Larchmont 
Manor, Rouken Glen, Bonnie Briar, and 
Winged Foot. Bethany also neglected the 
wonderful waterfront areas of Mamaro- 
neck Village. And if the article was based 
on fine school systems, Bethany was way 
off base when she omitted ours. 

We would be happy to give Bethany a 
tour of our lovely heterogeneous neigh- 
borhood and prove to her what a "hot 
suburb" really is.

THERE ARE A FEW QUESTIONABLE STATE- 

ments in "The Hot Suburbs," but none 
quite so silly or as sociologically insult- 
ing as "If the cheerleaders look like fu- 
ture manicurists, this may not be the 
town for your sugar V spice." 

What exactly does a future manicurist 
look like? Does she (or he) look, maybe, 
Italian? Or Asiatic? Or maybe like a New 
York Magazine staffer? I played football 
in high school, in college, and in the 
Army, and I have yet to meet anyone who 
found cheerleaders "appalling." Where 
did you get the idea that the look of a 
football team's cheerleaders possibly in- 
dicates which type of children "rule" a 
particular roost? Would you feel better if 
they all looked like Judd Nelson and 
Molly Ringwald?

Book Review 

I AGREE WITH DAVID BLUM'S COM- 

ments in "The Tome Machine" [Oc- 
tober 24] concerning the marketing 
of author Stephen Hawking. I would go 
even further, though, and accuse Hawk- 
ing's publishers of gross exaggeration, 
if not misrepresentation, of A Brief His- 
tory of Time's content. 

On the jacket, Bantam makes the ap- 
pealing argument that because he has 
been confined to a wheelchair for the 
past twenty years, Hawking is uniquely 
able to conceive and describe answers to 
the biggest questions in this "truly en- 
lightening book." The truth is that the 
treatment is uneven in the extreme, often 
trite, and incomprehensible to every re- 
viewer I have read, despite almost uni- 
versal praise. In the introduction, Hawk- 
ing admits his irritation with his editor's

lengthy list of comments about the first 
draft. I strongly suspect that there 
was no list about the second draft, per- 
haps because of the physical ordeal it 
must have been for Hawking to revise 
large chunks of material. Instead, the 
editor's attention turned to marketing, 
which is more fun. 

I agree that the marketing was clever 
but regard it as a cheap ploy, un- 
worthy of a serious publisher or writer 
and unworthy of the subject. For readers 
who were similarly disappointed with the 
product but who remain doggedly inter- 
ested in the topic, may I recommend 
Bertrand Russell's ABC of Relativity, 
which is much closer to the genuine 
article. 

Nicholas Budd 
London, England 

WHATEVER HE MAY WANT TO THINK OR 

say about the relative merits of left- or 
right-leaning books on economics or so- 
ciology (he obviously prefers left-lean- 
ing), David Blum's attack on the popular- 
ity of Stephen Hawking's book does not 
do justice either to your fine magazine or 
to the art of book reviewing. Hawking 
possesses one of the greatest scientific 
minds of our time and is doing important 
creative work in the rapidly evolving field 
of cosmology. It speaks well for our soci- 
ety that so many readers are willing to try 
to reach an understanding of his inter- 
ests. 

It is said that when the present 
Queen Elizabeth was being tutored in 
philosophy, she asked her tutor if it 
was important that she understand all 
Immanuel Kant's essays. Her tutor re- 
plied, "It is sufficient that you know he 
existed."

David Blum replies: I prefer my books 
to stand straight up. 

david blum's "the tome machine" 
gives me an opportunity to relate an 
incident involving manipulation of the 
Times's best-seller list. 

I had consistently noticed L. Ron Hub- 
bard's books on the list, and it baffled 
me that I had never seen anyone buy or 
read them. Then I got some insight. My 
boss, a Scientologist, instructed me to 
call twenty New York-area bookstores 
and order ten books using his credit 
card. He told me he would be reim- 
bursed by the organization. I was 
not the only one doing this. Then the an- 
swers to my questions fell into place, 
and, needless to say, I promptly left this 
man's employ.

THE CITY POLITIC. WEEKEND EDITION...THE PACE OF THE RACE. ..DUCK SOUP 



BELLAMY PONDERS 
POLITICAL COMEBACK 

Carol Bellamy, who left the 
City Council presidency for 
Wall Street after losing the 
1985 mayoral race, wants to 
run for office again, says a 
political source. Bellamy, a 
municipal-bond underwriter 
at Morgan Stanley, has told 
associates that she's consid- 
ering a bid for the seat held 
by Ned Regan, the state 
comptroller who was recent- 
ly accused of unethical fund- 
raising. 

"During her work in the 
Dukakis campaign, Carol re- 
alized that she still has the 
political bug," says the 
source. "With her Morgan 
Stanley work, she has the fi- 
nancial experience that 
would give her credibility as 
a comptroller, and she has 
contact with powerful mon- 
ey people to help her raise 
the funds." But it would be a 
tough election, the source 
says, because Bellamy lost 
allies and credibility during 
her bid for mayor. 

"It's too early to discuss at 
this point," says Bellamy. "I 
do want to run for office 
again, but not next year." 
Regan's seat becomes avail- 
able in 1990. 



ELECTION '88: FAST TIMES AT CBS NEWS 

It looks as if the firm hand of news president David Burke 
was guiding CBS's campaign coverage last week. A CBS 
source says that on the Saturday before Election Day, Burke, 
who has kept a low profile since coming to the network this 
past summer, sat through a rehearsal of the planned coverage 
and decided that the program was "too boring." Within two 
days, the source says, the leisurely pace of the show was 
sped up. 

"They picked up the tempo, scheduling a lot of short seg- 
ments — most of them under a minute — in rapid succession," 
says the source. "They left most of the two- and three-minute 
pretaped video packages, which were shown early on Satur- 
day's rehearsal, until after midnight. Even though the early 
Nielsens have CBS in last place, most people here thought 
the last-minute changes made the show more lively." Lane 
Venardos, executive producer of special events, says, "I'm 
not going to say who made the decision. We collectively 
agreed that we had to move more quickly. That's what re- 
hearsals are for." 



HEVESI ENUSTS TWO 
FROM CUOMO CREW 

If Queens assemblyman 
Alan Hevesi decides to run 
for city comptroller, he will 
have two seasoned strate- 
gists in his inner circle. 
Cuomo confidant Michael 
Del Giudice, who was chair- 
man of Michael Dukakis's 
New York State campaign, 
and former Cuomo press

7M$ EDITORS TRY TRADING OFF 

New York Times managing editor Arthur Gelb has some top 
editors playing musical chairs for 90 days. loseph Lelyveld, 
the foreign editor, has become "weekend editor." His deputy 
editor, Bernard Gwertzman, is now heading up the foreign 
desk, assisted by Fred Andrews, the editor of the "Business 
Day" section. Mike Levitas, the editor of The New York 
Times Book Review, is deputy editor of the business section. 
His deputy editor at the Book Review, Rebecca Sinkler, will 
manage that section for 90 days. 

Gelb wouldn't elaborate on the temporary changes except 
to say, "It's part of a newsroom experiment." A Times source, 
however, says, "They've felt the need to beef up reporting on 
the weekend, and they've never had a weekend editor. Also, 
Andrews has been chafing at the bit to do something other 
than business, so they felt this was the right time."

ten years, says he will work as 
a campaign strategist. Stead- 
man, who will help Hevesi if 
city comptroller Jay Goldin 
doesn't run for re-election, 
says he plans to handle media 
relations for the campaign. "If 
he needed me to hand out 
leaflets. I'd do that, too," says 
Steadman, who left the Cuo- 
mo camp in 1987. "I grew up 
in Queens, too, and I have the 
highest regard for men like 
Hevesi. I think he under- 
stands the city."

RUDOLF'S NEW CLUB: A 2020 VISION 

Rudolf, the club operator who owned Danceteria and helped 
run the Tunnel and Palladium, is opening a new club in De- 
cember. The club, as yet unnamed, will fill a 1 5.000-square-foot, 
five-story building at Tenth Avenue and 15th Street. 

The club will be fashioned after the film Blade Runner, says 
Rudolf, and will be set sometime around the year 2020. "It 
will be in a world where there's been so much immigration 
that you can't tell what country you're in," the nightlife guru 
says. "The decor will be a combination of Asian, African, and 
North and South American." 

The club will be "high-energy, as opposed to low-energy," 
like Nell's or M.K., he says. "In the club scene today, people 
don't want to mingle with anyone who's not like them. It 
causes friction, but friction creates energy. So I'm going to 
have five floors, each tailored to a different type of person — 
so that there will be a mixture of people without any min- 
gling."

the store will carry take-out

MONTAUK YACHT CLUB'S SHIP COMES IN 

Steven Goodstein and Arthur Cohen, former owners of the 
Gotham and the Grand Bay hotels, are heading up a group 
that has bought the Montauk Yacht Club and is sinking about 
$6 million into its renovation. 

The club and marina, where Ted Turner, Peter Kalikow, and 
Leslie Wexner have docked their yachts, was established in 
1928 by such families as the Vanderbilts, Astors, Whitneys, and 
Fords. "The resort has had a rocky history since its heyday, and 
in the seventies, it went into bankruptcy," says a spokesman for 
the developers, who bought the yacht club from real-estate mo- 
gul Edward S. Gordon. "Several people have tried to upgrade 
the place, but no one's made an all-out effort," says the spokes- 
man. "We intend to turn it into a five-star resort." 

When the Montauk Yacht Club reopens in April, the hotel 
will have butler service for guests, a restaurant with a three-star 
chef, valet service, lighted tennis courts, and four swimming 
pools. In peak season, room rates will start at $250. 



GENTILE FRAMES 
SELF FOR POSTERITY 

Visitors to Paul Gentile's of-

seems that Gentile, who will 
be replaced by D. A. -elect Rob 
lohnson in lanuary. has dec- 
orated his outer office with 
eleven ornately framed por- 
traits of former D.A.'s, com- 
plete with silver labels speci- 
fying the dates they served. 
The label on Gentile's por- 
trait leaves his term open- 
ended, and the exhibit has 
been hung so that there is no 
room for a portrait of the in- 
coming D- A. Says a source, 
"Gentile wants to leave his 
mark on the Bronx one way 
or another."

FIVE THINGS BUSH COULD DO 



AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA, IT IS 

sometimes useful to state the obvious: 
George Bush did not wear a silly hat 
when he met the press as president-elect 
for the first time last Wednesday. He did 
not wave his arms around, or say goofy 
things, or challenge the reporters to read 
his lips. He was neither a wimp nor the 
tough guy who'd paraded about for the 
past two months spouting venomous and 
divisive half-truths about his opponent. 
He didn't mention his love of country 
music or eat a pork rind. 

No, this fellow was the other George 
Bush — the one his friends had always in- 
sisted was the real thing: solid, cautious, 
not very colorful or eloquent, but decent 
and eminently reasonable. He gave the 
appearance of quiet competence. When 
asked how it felt to be elected president, 
he seemed humbled by the challenge and 
the responsibility of it all. "I can't use the 
word 'exciting,' " he said. 

This is how political honeymoons be- 
gin: with the realization that the fevered 
craziness of the campaign is over, the 
nominee isn't as bad as all that, and the 
republic will most likely survive. Despite 
the pundit-blather of cataclysms and 
confrontations to come, George Bush 
will have some breathing space now — 
and something of a mandate as well, al- 
beit a modest one: Don't do anything 
drastic. Keep the Reagan bubble afloat. 
And, above all, stay healthy. 

l6 NEW YORK/NOVEMBER 21, 1988 



But the caretaker's role is trickier than 
it seems; you can't just tread water; sub- 
tle boldness is required. Certainly, if 
Bush is too passive, too respectful of the 
Reagan tradition, he'll be overwhelmed 
by the rush of history. On the other hand, 
if he so chooses, there are some real op- 
portunities for creative governance — 
even within the narrow perimeters of his 
mission. Here are five: 

□ The budget. This is, without a doubt, 
Bush's biggest worry of the next few 
months. The hot whisper in Washington 
last week was that a deal would be cut 
with the congressional leadership on a 
"quick-strike agreement" to reduce the 
deficit. It was said that the president- 
elect's pragmatic senior advisers were 
pushing for a $40- to S50-bil lion package, 
including a ten- to fifteen-cent increase 
in the gasoline tax (yielding about $1 bil- 
lion a year in revenue per penny of tax). 
That, at least, was the favored scenario 
among purveyors of conventional eco- 
nomic wisdom. "They're gonna deal," 
said a powerful lobbyist. "[House Ways 
and Means Committee chairman] Danny 
Rostenkowski has been saying for weeks 
that his old friend George Bush would be 
more reasonable than Ronald Reagan — 
and maybe even more than Dukakis. 
These guys are pros. They'll deal." 

Oh? More than a few top Bush advis- 
ers — and, apparently, the vice-president 
himself — remain adamant: No new taxes. 
In fact, some want Bush to throw down 
the gauntlet in his inaugural address and 



challenge Congress to cut spending. 
"Look, people have been predicting the 
end of the world for the past six years be- 
cause of the Reagan deficits," says one. 
"But nothing happened. The sky didn't 
fall. The deficit has been reduced in rela- 
tion to GNP — less than 4 percent now. 
I'm willing to gamble we can keep reduc- 
ing it gradually for the next four years. 
Why should the working people of Amer- 
ica pay for the fears of a bunch of eco- 
nomic theorists? Why should we take the 
political hit for it?" 

"Because Bush isn't Reagan," says 
Representative Charles Schumer of New 
York. "He needs actual accomplish- 
ments. He isn't someone who, by his very 
presence, makes people feel good." In- 
deed, if Bush has been distinguished for 
anything during his quarter-century in 
public life, it's been his ability to adapt, 
to accommodate — oh, all right, to sell his 
soul, if it came to that — to get what he 
needed. He will need the cooperation of 
Congress, especially if times get tough 
(and you have to assume that Reagan's 
incredible luck was a fleeting Hibernian 
phenomenon). No doubt, after the cheap 
shots and bravado of the campaign, the 
oleaginous Speaker Jim Wright and the 
other puffy sachems of the legislature 
will demand a public act of penance from 
the new president. What more convinc- 
ing way than to bite the bullet on "reve- 
nue enhancement"? 

A quick tax may be quickly forgotten 
or even be explained away through cre- 
ative euphemizing. Read my lips: "In re- 
sponse to last week's shocking EPA re- 
port on the effect of fossil fuels on ozone 
depletion, I am calling today for a spe- 
cial, temporary fifteen-cent-per-gallon 
energy-conservation -and-ozone -replen- 
ishment fee. This will not only help clear 
the air, reduce the deficit, and lower in- 
terest rates but also — I am informed by 
the surgeon general — might even de- 
crease the incidence of skin cancer and 
respiratory illnesses in years to come." 

Not very convincing? It's not very like- 
ly either. But George Bush may ultimate- 
ly find that "no new taxes" is a bargain- 
ing chip — like Star Wars — that he'll have 
to trade in at the last moment to keep his 
presidency viable. 

□ The Japanese. Don't be surprised if 
Bush schedules a meeting with Prime 
Minister Noboru Takeshita soon after he 
is inaugurated. In part, this will be a re- 
ward for the crucial role the Japanese 
played in keeping the world economy 
stable during the campaign yean more

important, it will be the symbolic ac- 
knowledgment of a new partnership in 
foreign affairs. The Japanese already 
spend more on foreign aid than we do, 
and the Bush administration's task will 
be to make sure the money is spent in a 
way that advances mutual interests. 
There is a growing sense in the foreign- 
policy priesthood that this subtle quid pro 
quo is the most creative way for the Japa- 
nese to repay us for the military protec- 
tion we provide. "You'll also see them 
play a major role in Third World debt re- 
lief, especially in Latin America," says a 
consultant who represents Japanese in- 
terests. "An economic revival in Mexico 
and throughout the region may be the 
best hope for creating new markets for 
our products and wiping out the trade 
deficit." It's also, obviously, a good long- 
term investment for the Japanese. 

□ The cities. Was Bush serious about a 
"kinder, gentler nation"? If he was so 
"haunted" by the plight of poor children, 
why didn't he ever visit a ghetto and al- 
low himself to be haunted firsthand? A 
certain skepticism is clearly justified — 
but I have a feeling that Bush may be a 
pleasant surprise in this area, for several 
reasons. One is that he's surrounded 
himself with young, energetic domestic- 
policy people like Jim Pinkerton and 
Deborah Steelman (who, though only 33, 
would be a dynamite Secretary of Health 
and Human Services); this is in marked 
contrast with Reagan, who never much 
cared about such things. 

A Republican urban agenda (it is, I 
must admit, something of a reach even to 
type those words) would be different 
from the sclerotic, bureaucracies Demo- 
crats seem to favor — and, no doubt, 
would be controversial with the unions 
and interest groups who now control the 
apparatus of the welfare state. It would 
be oriented toward self-help — tenant 
management of housing projects, for ex- 
ample — and financial incentives (like 
Steelman's refundable day-care tax break 
for poor families). It would also bolster 
early-education and health programs like 
Head Start and prenatal care. 

Of course, such programs require a 
commodity that Republicans haven't of- 
ten favored dispensing in the slums: 
money. And the money won't be there if 
Bush doesn't cut a deficit-reducing deal 
with Congress. And even if he does, there 
will be all sorts of interests competing for 
the few dollars available. Why would 
Bush spend the money on Head Start in- 
stead of, say, the stealth bomber? 

Because of enlightened self-interest. 
The Democratic nominee for president 
in 1992 will be forced to win the prize 
over Jesse Jackson's prostrate body. It 
promises to be a brutal struggle, and a 
significant number of black voters may 
be so resentful of the winner that they'll 
consider switching to the GOP, a process

Bush might facilitate if he can point to a 
good-faith effort in black neighborhoods. 
(Those black votes could be crucial if the 
Democrats nominate a southern popu- 
list, forcing Bush to pursue a more north- 
ern re-election strategy.) 

□ The Democrats. John F. Kennedy 
had C. Douglas Dillon. Richard Nixon 
had Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Jimmy 
Carter had Zbigniew Brzezinski (okay, 
he's almost a Republican). George Bush 
can prolong his honeymoon by reviving 
the grand tradition of asking prominent 
members of the opposition to join his ad- 
ministration. "I can see giving Walter 
Mondale a job," says one Bush adviser. 
"Something like U.N. ambassador." 

Why not go all the way? Why not find 
something for the world's smartest clerk? 
Let's face it, Michael Dukakis has proved 
he can't hit big-league pitching when it 
comes to elective politics; he is, however, 
a world-class bureaucrat. If not Steel- 
man, why not put him in charge of HHS? 
Dukakis might be particularly effective if 
set loose upon the egregious Medicare 
system — which could be the single most 
expensive federal program by 1998. His 
cost-containment efforts caused squeals 
of pain from Massachusetts doctors, al- 
ways an encouraging sign. This is more 
enlightened self-interest: Someone is go- 
ing to have to do something about Medi- 
care before too long. Why not let a Dem- 
ocrat do the dirty work? (And if the 
Duke — or whoever — comes up with an 
answer, he or she can have all the credit.) 

□ The Soviets. This may seem harsh, 
but the Soviet Union has been the ulti- 
mate insurance policy for a generation of 
Republican presidents. When Richard 
Nixon couldn't round up ten votes in the 
Senate, he could always wangle an invita- 
tion to visit Leonid Brezhnev. When Ron- 
ald Reagan was humiliated by the Iran- 
contra scandal, Mikhail Gorbachev 
helped him out of the hole by negotiating 
the INF treaty. If Congress balks, if the 
economy flops, if the Japanese call in 
their debts and the dollar collapses, the 
Soviets will be ready and waiting to nego- 
tiate not only a strategic-arms-reduction 
treaty (start) but also — perhaps — the 
mammoth conventional-arms-reduction 
agreement that would relieve burdens 
from both the American and Soviet econ- 
omies. Given the dire state of affairs in 
the Soviet Union, Bush will be able to 
bide his time and drive a hard bargain (he 
might open the bidding by pressing the 
Soviets to let the Sandinistas sink under 
the weight of their own incompetence in 
Nicaragua, another economic burden 
Gorbachev might happily relinquish). 
The issues involved are remarkably com- 
plicated, but if Bush plays his cards right, 
a historic treaty might be ready to be 
signed — and ratified, once more, by a 
Democratic Senate — just in time for a 
second honeymoon in 1992. wm

NOW WHEN YOU SAVE AT CHASE 
YOU'LL BE SEEING DOUBLE. 





CHASE DIVIDEND SAVINGS ANNOUNCES DOUBLED DIVIDENDS 

AND A NEW HIGHER RATE 



Just open a Chase Dividend Savings account 
with a deposit of $1,000 or more and you'll 
earn 6.50%, a new higher rate of interest, for a 
greater annual yield of 6.72%. 

Make no withdrawals next quarter and your 
annual yield will increase to 6. 99%. Because, in 
addition to your regular interest, we'll pay you a 
dividend of 4% of your quarterly interest- double 
the dividend you would have earned before. 



Rates may change quarterly. Annua/ yields quoted assume principal 
and interest remain on deposit at the current rate for a full year, 
compounded daily. The 6.99% yield assumes that you earn the 4% 
no-u'ithdruuul interest dividend for a full year: the 7.27% yield 
assumes that you earn the 8% dividend for a full year. Dividends are 
credited quarterly. Available for personal accounts up to $100,000. 



Continue to keep your money in your 
account for subsequent quarters and your yield 
will grow to 7.27% because we'll double the 
dividend again. So you'll now get an 8% divi- 
dend on the interest you earn each quarter you 
don't withdraw money from your account. 

Chase Dividend Savings. The longer you 
save, the higher the interest, the greater the 
dividend.

TOO MUCH, 
TOO SOON 



THE PRESS AND THE CAMPAIGN 

THE END CAME NOT A MOMENT TOO 

soon. Could anybody take one more col- 
umnist's grandiose memo to the candi- 
date about the speech he should give or 
one more numbing "attack of the polls" 
by the giant combine of ABC-CBS- 
NBC-CNN-New York Times-Wall Street 
/ournaMVashington Post-USA Today! 

It wasn't that the media coverage of 
the 1988 presidential race was so bad; in 
some respects, it was the most thorough 
and least frivolous in memory. The con- 
ventional wisdom about the candidates 
proved to be wise. But for j^Bfli 
journalists, as for Dukakis, the 
election wasn't about compe- 
tence. Clarity was the require- 
ment. Yet there was — her- 
esy — too much coverage 
stretched over too long a peri- 
od: The basic narrative line 
became obscured. The story of 
1988 all along was "Would 
there be a third Reagan ad- 
ministration, albeit one pre- 
sided over by George Bush 
and what's-his-name?" One 
political commentator got it 
right from the start, when he 
wrote last winter — after Dole's 
win in Iowa — that Bush was 
still the man to beat and that 
none of the Democratic aspi- 
rants could win in November, 
absent a recession. The ana- - 
lyst was Richard Nixon, writing in 
London Times. 

There were some other unexpected 
stars. The ABC News team of Peter Jen- 
nings, born in Canada, and David Brink- 
ley, born in 1920, steadily developed to 
become the best anchor combination on 
the networks. And when Brinkley began 
to flag on election night — whether from 
fatigue or from boredom — reporters Jeff 
Greenfield and Lynn Sherr helped pick 
up the pace. Yet the truer measure of 
press performance in 1988 involves not 
individual efforts but media organiza- 
tions as a whole. The achievements and 
shortcomings were institutional ones, in- 
cluding: 

□ Overinterpretation. Normally in pri- 
maries, the electorate is indifferent and 
volatile. Relatively few people pay atten- 
tion, and those who do have few firm 
preferences. All this makes prediction 
hazardous; the experts went ahead any- 
way — and gave us Dole's surge, Robert- 
son's righteous army, and Jackson's time. 



□ Quayle hunt. The party conventions 
were designed to create pretty pictures 
for TV, but they also attracted 10,000 
journalists looking for news . . . and sud- 
denly Dan Quayle flew into view. Media 
questions about the pro-defense senator 
and his nest in the National Guard dur- 
ing Vietnam were legitimate; the noisy 
pursuit of the story, however, worked to 
Quayle's advantage. After two weeks 
of taking hits about events from twenty 
years ago, Quayle became the beneficia-

□ Out of character. The affair of Gary 
Hart stirred media interest in the candi- 
dates' personal lives. Dutifully, the 
"character issue" was explored early in 
the campaign. Yet a lot of the electorate 
was just beginning to focus in on the can- 
didates in September and October. These 
late-tuning viewers had only Polaroid 
snapshots rather than clear fixes on char- 
acter. By then, the press had moved on to 
the big autumn story — the horse race. 

□ Losing control. Just as there were 
battleground states in the campaign, 
there were battleground voters — the 
don't-knows and undecideds. Bush 
reached these voters where they were — 
watching TV. His ads were more focused, 
dirtier, and more memorable than the 
Dukakis output; the $30 million for 
Bush's ad campaign was money well 
spent. But he also got his dollar's worth 
out of the daily media events staged for 
the evening news. 

Both campaigns had figured out early 
on that the Big Three networks would al- 



lot, on average, four to five minutes a 
night for coverage. The format was fixed: 
one or two introductory paragraphs by 
the anchor; then the Republicans' "day" 
and the Democrats' "day," each with a 
correspondent's wraparound; finally, a 
floater correspondent's assessment of is- 
sues and strategies and a one-liner on 
how this would affect the horse race. A 
quick calculation showed that there 
would be time only for 30 to 40 seconds 
of each "day" and within that, perhaps 10 
to 12 seconds for any one candidate's 
words. The candidates' opportunity to 
control the format was obvious, though 
again the Bush side seized it 
decisively. The campaign 
would sharpen a prime line so 
it could be that night's sound 
bite ("furloughs for murder- 
ers") and arrange a telegenic 
setting for the accompanying 
sight bite. Because any spon- 
taneity might "step on the 
message," news conferences 
were all but abolished. All too 
often, the press was reduced 
to watching the campaign like 
the rest of us — on television. 

□ "Process" versus sub- 
stance. To the reporters' cred- 
it, this media story was well 
told. Roger Ailes and Peggy 
Noonan — respectively, Bush's 
adman and chief speech- 
writer — became household 

names, not because they were 

visible in the campaign but because the 
media talked constantly about Ailes's 
and Noonan's handiwork. The Bush neg- 
ative ads were "answered" in journalists' 
news analyses well before the Dukakis ad 
campaign got untracked to take on the 
assignment itself. Stories about the cam- 
paign "process" seemed to be in the 
news more than traditional issues. 

Jon Margolis complained in the Chica- 
go Tribune that "professors who profess 
to be experts in the efficacy of television 
commercials" were being interviewed 
more frequently than the experts on for- 
eign policy. In fact, though, a number of 
news organizations found intelligent 
ways to offer substance. The MacNeil/ 
Lehrer Newshour and the New York 
Times both featured the candidates' basic 
stump speeches. Newsweek's clever little 
play on press attitudes, "Conventional- 
Wisdom Watch," regularly offered a 
readable take on process and substance. 

□ Poll madness. Polls are more sophis- 
ticated today than they were, say, in 1948,

SCUND 



when Gallup stopped asking people 
about Truman and Dewey three weeks 
before Election Day. In theory, publish- 
ing poll results isn't supposed to influ- 
ence voters' subsequent behavior. Specif- 
ically, polling specialists argue against 
any bandwagon effect, the movement of 
undecided voters toward the candidate 
consistently leading in the polls. In prac- 
tice, so many elements go into the deci- 
sion to vote — or stay home — that no one 
knows the cause-effect relationships (Du- 
kakis seems to have gained votes at the 
end, when the polls were saying he was a 
loser). Hal Bruno, ABC News's political 
director, acknowledges that "more re- 
search" into polling effects is needed — 
the standard response. Ocean dumpers 
usually call for additional studies, too. 

Purists aren't the only ones who regard 
polling as a kind of campaign pollution; a 
majority of the public thought the media 
had given too much prominence to the 
polls, according to (what else?) a poll. 
None of this will slow the rush to quanti- 
fy; when a technology exists, it's used. 

The networks' defense is the expected 
one: We can't suppress the news. Of 
course, polls aren't real news but media- 
made news. NBC, for example, mobilized 
2,400 people to collect 11,700 NBC-de- 
signed questionnaires from voters leav- 
ing NBC-designated bellwether precincts 
in order to replicate an NBC model of 
the general electorate. Without that NBC 
effort, there would have been no polling 
news for NBC to report. 

The '88 campaign enters the record 
books with a number of such ambiguous 
achievements — the most negative presi- 
dential ad campaign in three decades, 
the heaviest polling ever, the most so- 
phisticated use of exit analyses. Already, 
too, the campaign is provoking a record 
number of postmortems, the Dukakis 
wake aside. Jeff Greenfield of ABC News, 
for example, proposes a way out of the 
constricted evening-news formats that al- 
low for only sound bites and strategic as- 
sessments. He proposes not a change in 
the networks' way of doing stories but a 
pledge by the candidates to forswear the 
punchy quote and the photo op in favor 
of speeches that will state their "convic- 
tions and principles." The TV bite would 
still be brief, but the TV sound more 
high-minded. Jonathan Alter of News- 
week proposes a rerun policy: The ex- 
ploratory character studies that televi- 
sion does at the beginning of the process 
should be offered again in the fall, when 
less attentive voters start to tune in. 

Welcome as these changes might be, 
they represent fixes at the edges of the 
form. The basic structures remain in place. 
No one really needs a poll, or a critic, to 
know that the Bush campaign has become 
an instant classic, a textbook case of media 
management. Thus, a safe prediction: If 
you liked '88, you'll love '92. —*

THE SPORTING LIFE 



HOOP-DE-DO 



ON A RECENT SATURDAY 
night, Brett Mehlman, 24, 
a real-estate associate at 
Chemical Bank, played 
basketball for hours. Wearing 
faded Levi's, Mehlman (who at 
five eight is a bit small for the 
sport) drank Rolling Rock 




Gunning at Mugamba Bay. 



between games while chatting 
with his date. 

But Mehlman never worked 
up a sweat — and never left his 
spot at the back of Mugamba 
Bay, a tropical-theme bar on 
Amsterdam Avenue. 

Mehlman and his friends 
often spend hours playing 
"the basketball game" — 
a.k.a. The Sharpshooter, 
Shoot to Win, or Master-Shot 
The machines, which are 
eight feet long and high, are 
the latest fad in coin- 
operated bar games. For 50 
cents, players have 45 
seconds to shoot four seven- 
inch rubber balls into a hoop 
that is six and a half feet off 
the ground. As the balls go 
through the hoop or hit the 
backboard, they roll down a 
chute and back to the player, 
who shoots until the clock 
runs out. "1 love the 



competition," says Mehlman. 

The machines started 
appearing in bars here about 
six months ago. They've 



become fixtures in 
postcollegiate hangouts — 
places like Great American 
Clubhouse, Spanky's, Bamboo 
Bernies, and Panama City. 

"Someone who's been 
working as a stockbroker and 
hasn't had the time to play 
basketball in five years can 



really relate to it," says Allen 
Weisberg, of Big Apple 
Amusements. His company 
has installed about 50 of the 
games in the past two 
months. "It takes the 
school yard," says Weisberg, 
"and puts it into a bar."

bscesses of the soul!" exclaims 
Steven BerkofT. "Go back to the 
Elizabethans, go back to the bloody 
Greeks: that's the essence of drama! I 
see these Greeks sitting around the agora 
trying to think of the most shameful, the most 
devastating, the most obscene things 
imaginable. 'How about a man who murders 
his father and sleeps with his mother and 
then stabs out his eyes?' 'You think that's 
horrible? I've got something even worse, 
The theater's mandate 
isn't to put buns in the 
seats; it's to purge the 
audience!" 

"Abscesses of the soul" 
may not have been what 
BerkofFs father meant 
when he told his son, 
"Never be a tailor." But it 
may explain his current 
preoccupation with 
demagogues — in the 
sinister Coriolanus he's 
directing at the Public 
Theater and in the mini- 
series War and 
Remembrance, in which 
he plays Hitler. 

Backstage buzz has it 
that the Coriolanus 
company is divided — half 
of them loathe BerkofT, 
the others idolize him. 
Insiders say Christopher Walken, who's 
playing Coriolanus as a kind of moral 
gangster, has responded to BerkofFs rigorous 
prodding by either giving mesmerizing 
performances or merely walking through the 
part — sometimes on the same night. "The 
way I see the role, he's a psychopath who's in 



touch with certain truths," says Berkoff. 
"New York is the perfect place for that — it's a 
new Elizabethan society just manic with 
possibilities." 

As for playing Hitler, Berkoff says he accepts 
such "stultifying, two-dimensional roles" only 
to support himself as a playwright. "All you 
have to do to play Hitler is rant a lot," he says. 
"No one can play Hitler as well as a Jew." 

The 51 -year-old actor is familiar to 
American audiences as a sneering villain — 
he's appeared as the 
heavy in Octopussy, 
Beverly Hills Cop, and 
Rambo II — but is better 
known in his native 
London as an audacious 
playwright, an auteur 
terrible inspiring 
particular passion in the 
young for his savage 
depiction of England as 
"this septic isle." "So 
much theater is such thin 
water," he says. "When I 
first read Noel Coward, I 
was so dizzy with the 
banality of it all, I had to 
sit down." To the Who's 
Pete Townshend, "this 
playwright's measure of 
friendship is how much 
torture his audience will 
endure." Though his 
plays are filled with lyric rage and voluptuous 
disgust, they're also characterized by brutal 
exuberance and a kind of bestial grandeur. 

"Maybe I should have been a tailor after all," 
he muses. "At least I'd have a trade. But then," 
he adds with that assassin's gleam, "I wasn't 
groomed to be sweet." Ross Wetzsteon 



Berkoff: "I wasn't groomed to be sweet.

They Do Windows 



IN THE EARLY-MORNING 
drizzle, a car with a 
cardboard window wends 
its way past hansom-cab 
stables and a hot-dog-cart 
warehouse toward Liberty 
Glass, near Eleventh Avenue. 
The cars lined up along this 
dreary stretch of West 48th 
Street look like casualties with 
the same wound: They've all 
lost a window. 

"If I ever catch anyone 
breaking in again, I think I'll 
throw the guy in front of a 
truck," says William Secor, a 
writer, glaring at the gap in 
his 1985 Ford Crown Victoria 
station wagon. "This is the 
second time I've been here 
in two weeks!" 

Dr. Joy Hochstadt, a 
medical researcher, darts 
through the traffic jam, 
heading for her newly healed 



Porsche. "They stole a radar 
detector, a roll of Triborough 
Bridge tokens, and some 
cassette tapes. But they didn't 
get the VCR!" she says. "It 
was covered up in the back." 

Kenneth Kammerer says 
his 1988 Blazer was "hit" 
while he was working for 
Martin Scorsese on New 
York Stories at 105th Street 
and Riverside Drive. "The 
crew gets hit a lot. This time, 
they got my attache case — a 
Halliburton — a radar 
detector, and an overnight 
bag. My insurance will 
probably pay part of it, but 
my rates will go up. What can 
you do?" 

Every day. the staff at 
Liberty Glass hears dozens of 
such stories. In an average

AUCTION NEWS 



There Goes the Neighborhood 



(N WHAT MAY BE THE 

biggest yard sale in the 
] history of the city, Evan 
_i Blum, the owner of 
Irreplaceable Artifacts, is 
putting his scavenged 
fragments of stately 
mansions, municipal 
buildings, and grand 
old hotels on the 
block. 

This weekend, he's 
auctioning off 800 slices of 
bygone eras — stained glass 
from the Loews State Theater 
on Broadway, paneling from 
the old Vanderbilt mansion 
next to '21,' a bronze check- 
writing stand from the old 
New York Post Office, and an 
original cast-iron 
lamppost from the 
Brooklyn Bridge. 

"It's all got to 
go," says Blum, 
who has winnowed 
five warehouses 
worth of furniture, 
columns, paneling, 
murals, and ornate 
ironwork and hauled 




all of it to Pier 36 (at 
Montgomery Street 
and the FDR Drive) 
for the auction. 

As part of his 
streamlining, Blum, 
who opened his first 
New York store eleven 
years ago on the 
Bowery, will probably 
close one of his three 
retail stores (he's got 
shops at Second 
Avenue and 2nd 
Street, and Sixth 
Avenue and 28th 
Street) and move 
his warehouses to 
Philadelphia. 
"We wanted to 
stay and even 
expand, but we

bitterly. 
"The Koch 
administration blew it. 
They said they would 
help us find an 
affordable place and 



they have plenty of 
empty space, but we 
couldn't get their 
cooperation." 

So on November 
19 and 20, Blum 
will watch the 
artifacts of his 
lifelong obsession 
with the past — 
stained-glass 
windows ranging 
from $200 to 
$150,000,a 
limestone plaque 
from the Brokaw 
mansion on Fifth 
Avenue, and an 
ornate 
mahogany 
fireplace from 
the Rockefeller 
mansion in 

Tarrytown — 

go to the highest bidder. 

"People who understand 
craftsmanship seek these 
things out," he says. "There 
is nothing like them being 
made today."

the back of the sign was 
written oh yes there was." 

"Remember the guy with 
the Audi?" says Grandelli. 
"We had just replaced the 
window and had moved it 
out to the street right in front 
of the shop when the 
customer came to pick it up. 
A van double-parked next to 
it, and while the customer 
was still with me, they broke 
the window, grabbed the 
radio, and took off." 

"I've got guys that I'm on a 
first-name basis with," he 
says. "The first time it 
happens, they're angry. But 
by the third time, it's a joke." 

Given the cost of such an 
episode, maintaining a sense 
of humor is a challenge. A 
basic door-window 
replacement costs $150. If the 
radio has been stolen, there 
is frequently damage to the 
dashboard, too, and new 
radios run $150 to $1,200 
(with $1 50 added for a "Bensi 
box," a plastic sleeve to make 
the radio removable). Car 
alarms, which people whose 
cars have been vandalized 
invariably want, are $300 to 
$600. 

Len Levy loves to tell the 
story about the doctor and 
the BMW. "They kept 
stealing his radio; he kept 
coming here," Levy says. 
"Finally, he got a removable 
radio. He brought the radio 
up to his apartment, and the 
next morning he brought it 
out and his car was gone. He 
showed up here with the 
radio, and no car."

PORTRAITS OF THE ARTISTS 



/it's the first 

• I collaboration I've ever 

I done," says Roy 
JL Lichtenstein about the 
self-portrait in which he's 
riding a horse along the beach 
in Southampton. "But I won't 
make a habit of it." 

Lichtenstein's collaborator 
is Gianfranco Gorgoni, a 46- 
year-old Italian 
photographer who used a 
computer to print his portrait 
of the artist on an eight-foot- 
high canvas. Gorgoni also 
persuaded twelve other 
artists — including Robert 
Rauschenberg, Christo, 
Chuck Close, Robert Longo, 
and David Salle — to paint his 
oversize portraits of them. 

Gorgoni, who has taken 
pictures of everyone from 
Afghan rebels to the pope, 
photographed Leo Castelli's 
artists in the early seventies for 
the Italian magazine 
L'Espresso. Last January, 
after experimenting with an 



enlargement of a Warhol 
photo, Gorgoni decided to 
ask other artists he'd 
photographed to repaint his 
portraits of them. Since each 



enlargement costs $5,000. 
Gorgoni needed a backer to 
finance the project. 

"At first, I went to Leo," 
says Gorgoni. "But the 
gallery was booked." He 



found a patron — Edward 
Penson, a Manhattan real- 
estate developer, who opened 
the Penson Gallery, at 149 
Wooster Street, last winter. 



"It was kind of like a 
homework assignment," says 
Longo, who blacked out his 
image from the canvas. 

"The iconography stays 
mostly Gianfranco's," says 



Close, who often uses his 
own photographs in his 
realist portraits. "But the 
activity of making something 
is mine." Close painted the 
small center panel of his face 
as seen through a prism. 
Salle refused to paint 
himself; he simply attached a 
photograph of his 
companion, choreographer 
Karole Armitage, to the 
canvas. "He said it was too 
overwhelming to paint his 
image," says Gorgoni. 

Christo, who was 
photographed sitting on a 
sand dune, painted his plans 
for a 400,000-oil-barrel 
pyramid in Abu Dhabi. 

Gorgoni has signed the 
back of each canvas and will 
receive one third of the profits. 
"I could never make a picture 
like that," says Gorgoni, 
pointing to the Christo, "and 
sell it for . . . $1 50,000." But he 
seems eager to try.

SOUNDS 



Postmodern Polkas 



Guy klucevsek's 
accordion looks like any 
other. It has gleaming 
keys, pearly inlays, and 
big, black bellows, shiny with 
lacquer. But the noises that 
come out of his instrument 
aren't waltzes or drinking 
songs. 

Klucevsek, 41, is an avant- 
garde virtuoso with a 
reputation for playing works 
other accordionists won't 
touch — pieces like (ohn 
Zorn's "Road Runner," an 
explosion of tweets, wheezes, 
and beep-beeps that sounds 
like someone flicking from 
cartoon to cartoon on 
Saturday morning. Klucevsek 
thinks nothing of slapping 
the keys with both hands, 
tapping on the button board, 
or rapping on the body — 
anything to produce 
unexpected sounds. 

When he and his 



quartet. Ain't Nothin' but a 
Polka Band, perform at bam's 
Lepercq Space for "Polka 
From the Fringe" (November 
17-19), concertgoers who 
associate the instrument with 
clinking steins and lederhosen 
are in for an ear-opener. 
Klucevsek has commissioned 
"polkas, pseudo-polkas, and 
decimated polkas" from 29 
tradition-trashing 
composers — pieces like Guy 
De Bievre's "Polka Dots and 
Laser Beams" and Fred Frith's 
"The Disinformation Polka." 

"The pieces range from 
abstract classical pieces," 
says Klucevsek, "to pieces 
that use the concept of the 
polka as a psychological 
reference, hearing the polka 
through a dream." 

Raised in a Slovenian 
community in western 
Pennsylvania, where radios 
blared the Happy Slovene 



Hour on Sundays, the 
composer spent his early 
years playing polkas. But he 
stopped playing them at 
college. "I pretty much 
disowned all traditional 
accordion music for about 
fifteen years," says 
Klucevsek, "until I 
discovered that there was 




Klucevsek: "I'm a weird musician. 



interesting regional music I 
hadn't been aware of — South 
and Central American 
accordion music, Tex-Mex, 
Cajun music." 

Fired by a newfound 
passion for accordion-based 
music, Klucevsek decided it 
was time to look 
homeward — through a 

fractured lens. 
"My frame 
. of reference 
is that of 
someone who 
played polkas as 
a kid but is now 
a so-called new- 
music 
composer, 
coming back 
with a different 
set of 

perceptions. I'm 
not a polka 
musician 
playing weird 
music," he 
insists. "I'm a 
weird musician 
playing polkas."

IT AND WEEP 



STANLEY BING , BEFORE FAX 

T IS 1986. LIFE IS SIMPLE. 

Stanley Bing, a 42-year-old middle manager for a 
large multinational corporation, is crunching some 
numbers for the divisional sales office in Omaha. 
His budget analysis is due on the regional manag- 
i er's desk "bright and early" Wednesday morning. 
But Bing is feeling no pain. The report pops out of his 
computer at three o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon, he drops it 
on the Federal Express pickup desk at his New York office by 
3:30 — and returns to his desk secure in the knowledge that 
Omaha will have it by 10:30 Wednesday morning. 

Now Bing can take a leisurely trip to the watercooler, make 
a few personal phone calls, and get in a full game of Donkey 
Kong on his pocket Nintendo machine before catching the 
5:23 to Stamford. 
"Lag time," Bing calls it. "An important part of every day." 
Bing loves Federal Express. "Absolutely, positively," he 
says. 

STANLEY BING, AFTER FAX 

It is 1988. Life is a bitch. 

Stanley Bing now describes his desk as a bottomless pile of 
greasy, semi-translucent paper. He says he needs a hair dryer 
to read important company charts and documents that are still 
moist. 

The term "ASAP" has come to mean that his superiors re-

quire his response within 45 seconds. There is no longer any 
such thing as lag time. 

"Yes, fax has changed my life," Bing reports sadly. "It has 
shortened it." He thinks about it a moment longer, then adds, 
"Ronald Reagan was right. Fax are stupid things." 



'T HAS BECOME AXIOMATIC IN THE MODERN 

age that when a noun becomes a verb, trend-watch- 
ers come out of their cocoons and take notice. 

So it is with fax, America's hottest new verb. If 
you haven't heard the question "Can I fax this to 
I you?" at any time in the past six months, you're liv- 
ing in a state of extreme isolation and should immediately call 
an interactive telephone-chat service. 





"THIS WAY," EXPLAINS NICK VALENTI, OF RESTAU- 
RANT ASSOCIATES, "YOU CAN GET YOUR LUNCH 
WITHOUT SPEAKING TO ANYBODY." 



40 NEW YORK/NOVEMBER 21, 1988 



Fax — short for "facsimile machine" — is, without a doubt, 
the biggest technological explosion since the personal com- 
puter. It is estimated that Americans now own 1.2-million fax 
machines and that almost 10 million people use them to trans- 
mit everything from a sandwich order to a doodle to a quarter- 
ly report. A little more than a year ago, there were only 600,000 
fax machines — and 4.5 million users. Market researchers fig- 
ure that by 1995, there will be close to 4 million fax machines 
whirring away in the United States, with about 20 million of us 
feeding paper into them day and night. MCI — which recently 
announced plans to offer a fax service of special transmission 
lines and other amenities — estimates that Americans made $3- 
billion worth of long-distance fax calls in 1988. MCI believes 
that by 1991, the figure will pass $9 billion. 

"There is a beauty to fax!" gushes Donna Murdoch, execu- 
tive director of — yes, it already exists — the American Facsimi- 
le Association. "There's no waiting. It makes life so much 
easier. Let's face it, you can really do anything with a fax 
machine." 

Like what? 

Well, let's say it's 11:30 on a rainy Tuesday morning. You 
forgot to pack lunch. You're stuck, starving, in your window- 
less office on the forty-second floor of a midtown tower. You 
have that inevitable sudden craving for mozzarella and pro- 
sciutto, stuffed breast of veal, a celery-and-carrot salad. Brie, a 
roll, and a fruit tart. 

Got a fax machine? If you have, just fax a filled-in "Le Fax 
Menu" to the Brasserie restaurant, and lunch will be delivered 
to your desk. It will not be possible for you to make a mistake 
and risk getting, for example, Camembert. 

"This way," explains Nick Valenti, senior vice-president of 
Restaurant Associates, which owns the 24-hour midtown res- 
taurant, "you can get your lunch without speaking to 
anybody." 

Or imagine it's seven at night, you're stuck at the office fin- 
ishing a report due on the boss's desk by eight the next morn- 
ing, and you are seized with the natural urge to hear Jimi Hen- 
drix sing "All Along the Watchtower." However, you are a 
meek and easily embarrassed fellow who doesn't enjoy calling 
radio disk jockeys. 

Got a fax machine? Just slip quietly down the hall and fax a 
request to WNEW-FM. Its fax line, like WXRK-FM's and 
several other stations', takes listener requests 24 hours 
a day. 

Time magazine is now getting letters to the editor by fax. 
The rock group They Might Be Giants now gets its out-of-town 
Top 40 charts by fax. The Los Angeles Lakers' office sends box 
scores by fax when the team is on the road. An expedition 
climbing Mount Everest sent back progress reports by fax. Da- 
vid Mamet faxed rewrites of Speed-the-Plow from Vermont to 
the office of his director, Gregory Mosher, at Lincoln Center. 
A California radio station collects jokes from listeners by fax. 
A New York judge ruled this month that it is acceptable to 
serve legal documents by fax. 

Even America's intellectual elite has succumbed to Fax Ma- 
nia. "I feel that there is a certain element of civility to fax," 
observes the writer Brendan Gill. "In much the way English 
hostesses of the nineteenth century would invite you to dinner 
by telegram, now you can do so by fax. Otherwise, we are con- 
signed to the horrors of the telephone." 

Some of you are probably wondering how Donald Trump 
figures in this story. Trump has a fax machine in his car and a 
fax machine on his boat. 



Cop 



nalerial 



THIS IS MAYBE AS GOOD A 
place as any to concede that 
faxing is not, strictly speaking, 
anything new. 
If you must know, the truth is 
that an inventor named Alexan- 
der Bain figured out how to transmit visual 
images over wire in 1842. Unfortunately for 
Bain, the telephone hadn't been invented 
yet. 

But while the basic technology for fax 
transmissions has been around for more 
than a century — newspaper wire services, 
for example, have been sending photo- 
graphs over telephone lines for decades — its 
popular use has been restricted by one im- 
portant factor: cost. 

Which brings us, as such things usually 
do, to the Japanese. 

With an alphabet that comprises thou- 
sands of characters, their culture needed 
some way to transmit the written word effi- 
ciently. This was in the sixties, when fax 
technology had improved to the point where 
written documents sent over the wire could 
be read reasonably well. By the seventies, 
Japanese manufacturers were working hard 
on ways to make that technology widely ac- 
cessible to business users. And by the eight- 
ies, they'd figured it out. 

The Japanese were the first to become 
fixated on fax, and they have now grown 
completely dependent on it. Here's a 
depressing statistic: According to the 
American Facsimile Association, more ■ 
than half of all telephone calls from 
Japan to the United States are to fax machines. 

And in major American cities, you're likely to find faxes 
anywhere you go. A New Jersey company called Just the Fax, 
Inc., now offers the fax equivalent of a pay phone: ActionFax, a 
self-service public fax machine that you can operate with a 
credit card. There are just a handful of New York outlets so 
far, including one in the Empire State Building, but the com- 
pany is boldly projecting 200 fax booths in the metropolitan 
area by the end of 1989. 

Hotel chains now routinely provide fax services to guests. 
Private post offices advertise fax machines in their window dis- 
plays. And, naturally, retail-electronics outlets like 47th Street 
Photo have given considerable shelf space to the new technol- 
ogy — leading the way in bringing fax machines into the home 
at a reasonable cost. 



UT IS A FAX MACHINE REALLY WORTH IT? 

The figures certainly make it look that way. Aside 
from the price of the machine, the unit cost of 
sending something by fax is minuscule when com- 
pared with those of messenger or overnight-deliv- 
ery services. Sending a ten-page memo from New 
York to Los Angeles will cost you $14 by Federal Express ($1 1 
if you go to a Federal Express drop-off point). By fax, including 
the cost of the phone call and paper, it will cost around $2. In 
other words, it won't take long for someone who used Federal 
Express regularly to make back the cost of his fax machine. 

It may be a little early to predict total dominance; reports 
that fax has taken away 30 percent of Federal Express's busi- 
ness turn out to be unfounded. But there is no question that 
fax has damaged messenger services and overnight-delivery 
systems. 

The folks at Federal Express don't sound very happy when

you ask them about fax — and not just because of the estimated 
20,000 overnight packages a day lost to the craze. 

Remember ZapMail? That was Federal Express's idea in 
1984 to popularize fax transmission by using special wires in- 
stead of regular phone lines, to provide better-quality trans- 
missions. But nobody went for it, and the program failed — 
costing Federal Express $340 million in pretax write-offs. An- 
other problem was that Fed Ex's potential technology — using 
satellites to transmit images at high speeds — went down with 
the Challenger disaster. 

"When we went into ZapMail, it was our contention that 
facsimile would be a very, very big market," Fred Smith, Feder- 
al Express's chairman, said recently, discussing ZapMaiPs 
demise. 

He added, without much conviction, "The important point 
is that we were right."

THE HUMOR MEISTERS AT LATE HIS NT 
With David Letterman have been exploring things 
to do with a fax machine on TV. One writer 
thought of having Letterman send messages to 
people by fax — and then thought of having him 
receive messages from people by fax. 
"I eventually realized," reports Fred Graver, the Late Night 
writer who developed the routines, "that it is funnier to receive 
than to send." 

Letterman finally rejected both approaches. He decided that 
watching a fax machine on national television would not be 
particularly funny. 

Fax Mania has also spawned a new and enormous cottage 
industry: fax puns. Many of them turn up on the cover sheets 
that accompany most faxes and are thus widely disseminated 
in the business community. Here are the worst five, collected

FACTS ON FAX 




OONER OR LATER, Ev- 
erything gets personal: com- 
puters, satellite-dish anten- 
nas, copiers, VCRs, and now 
facsimile machines. This 
150-year-old technology has 
recently shrunk from a big, clunky, 
prohibitively expensive machine into a 
sleek, affordable, popular consumer 
product. 

Of course, you don't have to go out 
and buy one. Fax machines are avail- 
able at most copying centers as well as 
alternative post offices. The charge is 
usually about $1 per page to receive a 
document; sending one costs $5 for the 
first page and $2 per subsequent page. 

Fax machines, unlike computer 
modems (which even techies sometimes 
have problems with), are as idiotproof 
as standard copying machines. Basical- 
ly, you just slide the document you 
want to send — photograph, map, bill, 
article, or love letter — into the ma- 
chine, which digitally scans the original 
and sends the image through the phone 
lines to the fax on the other end. It can 
take from 12 to 45 seconds to complete 
the transmission. 

All fax machines can also double as 
copiers; you can keep the image for 
yourself. Current models range in price 
from about $800 to about $3,000, de- 
pending on how fancy you want to get. 
And reaching out to fax someone costs 
exactly the same as a phone call. 

Features to look for transmission

speed, autodialing, automatic docu- 
ment feed, automatic paper cutting, 
superfine resolution (for photographs, 
illustrations, etc.), and programmable 
transmission time — so you can set your 
machine to transmit the document dur- 
ing off-peak phone rates. 

Panafax makes the popular UF-150 
and UF-250. The cute little UF-150 
sends material in seventeen seconds. It 
has a 70-call autodialer and program- 
mable transmission and offers super- 
fine resolution with sixteen halftones. It 
sells for about $1,100. The UF-250 also 
includes a feature called error-correc-

tion mode (ECM), which automatically 
corrects images that are garbled by bad 
phone lines. 

Canon makes three models, all desk- 
top size with built-in handsets. The 
Canon FaxPhone 8 is the simplest unit. 
It has a five-page document feeder and 
a 30-second-per-page transmission 
rate. 

It has a built-in handset but no 
autodialer, paper cutter, or high resolu- 
tion. The FaxPhone 20 has a seventeen- 
second-per-page transmission rate and 
a 52-number autodialer. The FaxPhone 
25 has programmable transmission, a 
paper cutter, and superfine resolution. 
It also has a computer hookup so you 
can scan documents right into your 
computer system. The machines sell for 
anywhere from $800 to about $1,800. 

Sharp's UX-80, while much slower 
(40 seconds per page), allows you to 
copy documents from a bound volume. 
Its suggested list price is $1,500. The 
model FO-300 has a 70-number auto- 
dialer, programmable and encoded 
transmission (for confidential docu- 
ments), sixteen halftones, and a ten- 
page automatic document feeder. Its 
transmission rate is eighteen seconds 
per page. It sells for about $1,100. The 
model FO-700 has a 132-number auto- 
dialer, twelve-second transmission, six- 
teen halftones, a 30-sheet automatic 
document feeder, an automatic paper 
cutter, and a reduction feature. 

Brother makes three basic models, 
the 60, the 175, and the 195, all selling 
in the $1,000 range. They have one- 



page automatic document feeders, ten- 
or twenty-number autodialing, and fine 
resolution (eight halftones for the mod- 
el 60, sixteen for the other two). But 
they have a slow transmission rate — 45 
seconds per page. The company makes 
two other machines: the model 1010, 
which has a fifteen-second-per-page 
rate and costs about $1,000, and the 
2020, which has a thirteen-second-per- 
page rate and goes for about $1,800. Fi- 
nally, Brother gives you one extra color. 
The 195-R lets you transmit in 
black and red. It sells for about 
$2,000. 

Ricoh's Fax 07 sells for about $900. 
It's got a twenty-second transmission 
rate, a one-page automatic document 
feeder, and that's about it. 

The company also makes a whole 
range of higher-end fax machines, the 
10E, 20E, 60E, and 70E, with autodial- 
ing and automatic paper cutters. The 
20E and 60E have 64 halftones, making 
them particularly good for sending 
graphics.

from a series of random interviews: Just the fax, ma'am. Crazy 
like a fax. Outfaxed. Faxually speaking. The joy of fax. 

Now that they have been mentioned here, it is sincerely 
hoped that they will not be used as headlines on future trend 
articles. 



ITCHELL FISHMAN IS A CORPORATE LAW- 

yer — a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & 
Garrison, a firm often associated with the "L" 
word. 

But Mitchell Fishman is, at the moment, a little 
more enamored of the "F" word. Fishman is what 
Fax Mania is all about. 

About two years ago, Fishman started to 
get tired of sitting around the Paul, Weiss 
offices past eight at night, waiting for his as- 
sociates to finish writing documents for his 
approval. 

After all, Fishman thought, I'm only here 
to approve them, not write them. Isn't there 
some way for me to reap the perks of my 
position as a partner and get the hell out of 
here in time for dinner? 

"At the time," Fishman remembers, "only 
one other partner had a fax machine, and he 
loved it. So I got one and put it in my 
house — I live in Westchester — so I could 
start going home earlier. That way, the asso- 
ciates could fax me their work, and I could 
read it at home." 

Before long, this became frequent Fish- 
man procedure, and eventually other law- 
yers started observing that the only thing 
standing in the way of them and the 6:44 to 
Larchmont was technology. 

Fishman, for one, considers fax one of the 
great joys of his life. 

"It's wonderful the way it's so easy. You 
just feed in the paper, and it's done," he 
says. "My wife is a lawyer, too, so we both 
use it all the time." 

Has the couple ever actually fought 
over the fax? "It may come to that," he 
says, though the tone of his voice per- 
haps suggests that it is, after all, his fax 
machine. 

It took no time at all for lawyers to realize 
that fax machines could also speed up business immeasurably 
during the day — and provide faster service for clients in a hur- 
ry. Now there's at least one fax machine on eleven of Paul, 
Weiss's floors in its West 51st Street office building — Fishman 
asked that the one on his floor be placed right outside his of- 
fice — plus an entire room devoted to fax machines and an in- 
house fax team. 

The Paul, Weiss fax explosion has been quite recent. A year 
ago, the firm had only eight machines, and only a handful of 
partners had them in their homes. Now twenty partners have 
them. 

"This has been a dramatic, important life-style change for 
lawyers," says William Hunnell, director of computer services 
at Paul, Weiss. "It's more than an economic move. In fact, on a 
cost basis, I'd say it's been a wash." 




S WITH ALL TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS, 

there has been the usual resistance from folks who 
think the world is being taken over by a bunch of 
crazy machines and addicted users with no regard 
for interaction. 
Peter Lance is familiar with that. A year ago, 
Lance was a story editor for Miami Vice and Crime Story, and it 
seemed to him that an awful lot of his time was being wasted 
driving from his Marina del Rey home to the offices at Univer- 
sal where the shows' writers and producers gathered every day. 
So he told his colleagues that he would prefer to stay at home 
one day a week and fax. 
"What was the point of spending 90 minutes on the freeway 




"I GOT ONE AND PUT IT IN MY HOUSE SO I COULD START 60IN6 
HOME EARLIER," SAYS LAWYER MITCHELL FISHMAN. "THAT WAY, 
THE ASSOCIATES COULD FAX ME THEIR WORK." 



just so I could spend some time joking around by the water- 
cooler?" he asks. "This way, instead of writing five good pages 
of script a day, I could do ten pages." 

But he encountered a good deal of resistance, much of it 
laced with sarcasm. " 'How's your fax machine?' people would 
ask me all the time, like it was something horrible," he remem- 
bers, wishing that people would see that faxing is, well, a kind 
of public service. 

"Maybe if we all faxed," he says, "we could cut down a little 
on all this pollution in the world." 

Lance is not one of those people who are addicted to tech- 
nology, however. The only machines he owns, aside from a 
Sharp UX-80 fax machine, are two Macintosh computers (a 
Mac II and a Mac SE), an Abaton 300FB scanner, a Zenith 
laptop computer, and a portable phone in his car.

■•I don f t give my fax number to just 
anybody," says businessman Will Wedge. 



he says 



"I would not get a portable fax machine for my car, 
flatly. "That might be a little dangerous." 

The only thing more dangerous, Fax Maniacs say, is allow- 
ing your fax number to fall into unauthorized hands, leading to 
a phenomenon now commonly known as junk fax — material 
from public-relations companies, direct-mail marketers, retail 
outfits, and the like. 

Local telephone companies don't list fax numbers in their 
directories; however, several private companies have sprung 
up just to collect as many fax numbers as possible. These will 
enable vast numbers of junk mailers to make the 
switch to junk fax — an appealing prospect, given 
the desirable demographics of most fax-machine 
users. 

And what makes junk fax great — or horrible — 
is that fax machines can't distinguish between 
solicited and unsolicited calls. This makes it ex- 
tremely easy for junk faxers to clog up important 
phone lines for hours at a time and has prompted 
numerous fax owners to change their phone 
numbers regularly. 

"I don't give my fax number to just anybody, 
and I'll never put it on my stationery," says Will 
Wedge, the owner of Monaco Communications, 
a New York marketing-communications firm. 
"You pay for all that paper, you know. And 
there's something about the machine that makes 
you want to look and see what it is. That can 
waste a lot of time." 

But the junk-fax industry can't be stopped — 
and that's due in part to the machines them- 
selves. Most can be commanded to produce 
something called a fax-transaction report, a list 
of the most recent fax numbers to which the ma- 
chine has been connected. Companies putting 
together directories have been offering gifts to 
employees who'll supply them with important 
fax numbers. A California-based outfit called 
Mr. Fax is offering a free Sony Walkman to any- 
one who will send a transaction report with 100 
or more fax numbers. In turn, Mr. Fax will send 
all the numbers a fax with information on its 
prices for fax paper. 



involved soliciting faxes about world peace from the world's 
most prominent politicians, collecting them in Max's studio, 
and faxing them to the White House. 

"We sent them to the First Lady, in fact," he says. "It was 
probably the world's longest fax ever. I think it was 40 feet. We 
had drawings from people like Alan Cranston and little notes 
from Mayor Koch. It was a beautiful thing." 

Now Max faxes everything — not just business documents 
but also drawings and sketches and doodles. "I love everything 
about it," he says. "I love the immediate response."

THERE IS A GROWING FEAR THAT AS FAX MACHINES BECOME MORE 
AFFORDABLE, PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO WORK HARDER. THERE WILL 
NO L0N6ER BE ANY SUCH THING AS LAG TIME. 




THEN YOU'RE AN ARTIST LIKE 
Peter Max, the advent of fax is precisely the kind 
of opportunity you're always searching for. 

"You see, it was a couple of years ago, and my 
art dealer had just sold a big piece of mine," Max 
says, "and I was in my gallery in Los Angeles, and 
somebody said to me, 'Why don't you fax him a message?' So I 
drew him a little doodle, and we put it in the machine and 
faxed it. It went 'Beep! Beep!" and he had it. Now, I just 
thought that was amazing." 

So the artist went out and bought several fax machines so he 
could send his doodles and messages all over the world. 

But Max was not content to stop there. He wanted everyone 
to know just how much he loved this new machine and just 
how wonderful and exciting and fabulous it was that the tech- 
nology and his name . . . rhymed! 

So he immediately developed an idea for a media event he 
would call "Peter Max Faxes America . . . and the World." This 




THICK BRINGS US BACK TO STANLEY BING, 
who lives in mortal fear that fax will continue to 
become a maniacal phenomenon and force him 
to work even harder at his job. 

Bing — who writes a monthly Esquire column, 
"The Strategist," for struggling business execu- 
tives — is very worried, and he has some dire words for us about 
the future. 

In his December column, Bing predicts that by 1996 there 
will be such a fax backlash that federal legislation will be 
passed to outlaw fax. This law could be averted, Bing feels, if 
the industry agreed to regulate itself with the following rules: 

Number One. Under pain of flogging, nothing sent by fax 
will be allowed to say "FYI" unless requested. Number Two. 
Nothing will be faxed to anybody's immediate attention. Num- 
ber Three. No decision will be demanded by fax within 48 
hours of receipt. 

Anyone violating these rules will be forced to use surface 
mail. m

on his one-minute Apgar, the first examination given to new- 
borns to test their life functions. 

The medical rescue squad resuscitates Baby L and rushes 
him to the ninth-floor area called "the Unit," the section of the 
neonatal-intensive-care unit where the sickest babies are treat- 
ed. There, respirator tubes are inserted into his windpipe; a 
feeding tube is threaded into his nose. Devices to monitor his 
heart rate, breathing, and temperature are plastered on his 
small chest. 

Only after he stabilizes does the team continue its rounds, 
reviewing the care and management of each tiny patient. This 
Monday morning, the NICU census includes 25 patients, 8 of 
them in the Unit itself, the remaining 17, "feeders and grow-

Ste- 



ers," as the staff calls them, in three other 
rooms. 

Under a blaze of lights in the Unit, a 
two-day-old girl lies in an incubator. 
When she was born, a month early, she 
seemed fine and scored high on her Ap- 
gar. But soon after arriving in the well- 
baby nursery, she began gasping and 
grunting, signaling respiratory distress. 

Her nearest neighbor in the Unit is a 
two-day-old Hispanic girl who needs a 
transfusion. Her parents, garbed in the 
mandatory pink hospital gowns, are 
afraid to touch her. A nurse reassures 
them, showing them how to open one of 
the incubator's round portholes and slip 
their fingers through it. They giggle and 
whisper in Spanish when the baby seems 
to respond. 

Next to her is a three-and-a-half- 
pound, premature Filipino boy who had 
appeared robust — until he stopped 
breathing. Later tests will indicate that 
he has hyaline-mem- 
brane disease, the unde- 
veloped-lung condition 
that killed the John F. 
Kennedys' son Patrick. 
One of the interns frets 
that the baby's minus- 
cule penis signals endo- 
crine abnormalities. 
Unit director and 
rounds leader Dr. Ian 
Holzman, a short, pew- 
ter-haired man with a 
mustache, a beard, and 
a warm smile, slips on 
latex gloves to investi- 
gate. "I feel sorry for 
him," he mutters, "but 
I'm not concerned." 

A small sign reading 
isolation is posted on 
the next incubator, 
which holds the coma- 
tose month-old daugh- 
ter of a Nigerian diplo- 
mat. Baby S's parents, 
who have several other 
children, have stopped 
visiting her and are going back to Africa. 
The baby was deprived of oxygen at birth 
(a condition called asphyxia), and has 
bad lungs and liver and pneumonia. She 
is beyond help, but her medical manag- 
ers argue over how aggressively they 
should intervene when she begins to fail. 
"It's not fair to keep her alive to prove 
that we can," says Dr. Holzman, who 
softly suggests that no heroic measures 
be taken. No one disagrees. 

They tread dangerous ground here. 
Following the 1982 case of Baby Doe, the 
Indiana infant with Down syndrome who 
was allowed to die, the U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services notified 
every hospital receiving federal funding 



that the money would be withheld if 
treatment or nourishment was denied to 
handicapped newborns; "800" numbers 
were posted in the hospitals for staffers 
to use in reporting abuses. Life-and- 
death decisions used to be private at 
Mount Sinai. Now, advanced technology 
in the field of neonatology — and result- 
ing publicity — has made them public. 
But Mount Sinai's funding has not been 
threatened. 



I 




COULD HAVE OBSERVED ROUNDS 

at any of a dozen neonatal-inten- 
sive-care units in New York City. 
But I chose K-9, as the ninth floor 
of Mount Sinai's Klingenstein Pa- 
vilion is called, for personal rea- 
sons. Almost two years earlier, my twins, 
born seven weeks prematurely, had been 
patients here. One, an anencephalic, 
with an open brain cavity, spent her brief 
life in an incubator. The other, a four- 
pound boy, stayed for 
more than two weeks, 
and we ultimately took 
home a healthy son. I 
chose to revisit the insti- 
tution that had saved 
him, humanely cared 
for her, and helped us in 
our grief and joy. Being 
here again would, I 
thought, help me come 
to terms with an experi- 
ence I had gone through 
in a daze — and let me 
lay to rest the ghosts it 
had roused. 

Nationally, between 
150,000 and 200,000 in- 
fants a year — some 4 to 
6 percent of all new- 
borns — spend time in 
an NICU. At least half 
of them weigh much 
less than five and a half 
pounds; they are almost 
40 times as likely as nor- 
mal-weight newborns to 
die in the first month of 
life — and five times as likely to die 
later in the first year. More than half of 
them are black. (Mothers who are poor, 
undernourished, or teenagers, or those 
who smoke or are carrying multiple fe- 
tuses, have a far greater likelihood of de- 
livering prematurely than the national 
average.) 

Of the 4,000 babies born at Mount Si- 
nai every year, some 600 to 700 are 
wheeled through the heavy wooden 
doors of the NICU into its warren of ag- 
ing and graceless rooms. (Happily, a new 
facility on the third floor of the Klingen- 
stein Pavilion — with a place for parents 
to sleep, two breast-feeding rooms, VCRs 
for screening infant-care instruction 



films, and conference and grieving 
rooms — is being built and should be 
ready by Christmas.) 

Even though stringent new admissions 
criteria mean that only the sickest infants 
get in, the NICU's population sometimes 
exceeds its 30-bed capacity. Some more- 
mature preemies (technically, any baby 
born within the first 37 weeks of preg- 
nancy), perhaps jaundiced and needing 
antibiotics, are discharged within a week. 
More-premature infants can stay for two 
or three months, depending on whether 
there is bleeding in the brain (as happens 
with nearly half of NICU babies under 
three pounds five ounces) or asphyxia or 
other pulmonary distress. 

According to Holzman, NICU treat- 
ment costs an average of $1,000 a day per 
patient; half of the babies are covered by 
private insurers, another quarter by Med- 
icaid. The rest have no insurance. Na- 
tionwide, the tab for treating neonates 
weighing less than five pounds in the 
country's 420 NICUs is $1.2 billion annu- 
ally, according to the National Perinatal 
Information Center in Providence, 
Rhode Island. 

In medical terms, some neonates never 
stop paying. New studies suggest that the 
smallest babies risk developing various 
problems later in life, including cerebral 
palsy, epilepsy, dyslexia, hyperactivity, 
hearing loss, and learning disorders. 
Years ago, preemies weighing two 
pounds had little chance of survival. To- 
day, NICUs save 75 percent of them, 
Holzman estimates. But he predicts that 
one fourth will have major problems lat- 
er. Only 20 percent of infants weighing 
500 grams — just over one pound — sur- 
vive. 

A BLACK-SPECKLED -LI NO- 
leum hallway leads from 
the NICU's locked en- 
trance to a nursery (now 
empty, but often occupied 
by a baby requiring quaran- 
tine), three rooms lined with plastic incu- 
bators, and the main Unit. A windowless 
room with fluorescent lighting, it exudes 
a sense of eerie isolation. Crammed into 
the 15-by-25-foot space are six, eight, ten, 
or sometimes more molded-plastic iso- 
lettes or electrically warmed radiant beds 
holding naked or diapered infants. (Pree- 
mies have inadequate body fat, which re- 
sults in too much heat loss.) Some of the 
babies are the size of an adult hand, and 
each is attached to a tangle of pulsating, 
beeping equipment. 

Family pictures have been taped up in 
some of the incubators, and teddy bears 
and other soft toys tucked in. Plastic 
tubes sprout from various machines sur- 
rounding each baby, and often from their 
partially shaved heads as well. Helmet-

like headboxes pump humidified oxygen 
to ease the neonates' breathing. 

Phototherapy lights for treating jaun- 
dice arc above many of the beds; IV 
racks with Harvard pumps stand along- 
side, administering medications or glu- 
cose. Electrodes dot many of the in- 
fants' chests, transmitting data to moni- 
tors above. Oxygen blenders regulate 
the amount of oxygen being supplied to 
the lilliputian patients; Pneumogards 
give ventilator readings on oxygen in- 
take. 

Watching these babies breathe is mes- 
merizing. Their chests heave — they draw 
between 30 and 90 breaths a minute — as 
their ribs and breastbones rise and fall. 
Their hearts beat an average of 150 times 
a minute, and stoppages that set off 
alarms are not uncommon. 

While most of their contemporaries lie 
curled up, afloat in the dark, listening 
unperturbed to their mother's heartbeat, 
these babies have a far busier day. From 
time to time, a nurse pats their backs to 
loosen lung secretions, then suctions 
them with a plastic syringe. Every three 
to six hours, blood is drawn to test oxy- 
gen and carbon-dioxide levels; eight 
stabs in the heel per day test blood-sugar 



levels. Other blood samples are tested for 
anemia and jaundice. 

The babies are weighed daily and fed, 
intravenously or with formula, about 
eight times a day. Their urine is collected 
in plastic bags twice daily, and blood 
pressure is checked at least three times. 
Every so often, there are blood transfu- 
sions. X-rays, and ophthalmologic exam- 
inations. 

CONTINUING ON ITS ROUNDS, 
the team stops to check on 
Baby J. He looks alert, peace- 
ful, rosy — indeed, to the lay- 
man's eye, healthy. But alas, 
his prognosis is bleak. Baby J's 
mind works, but his muscles don't. Born 
withWerdnig-Hoffmann syndrome, a con- 
dition similar to Lou Gehrig's disease, 
he'll never walk and may never sit before 
he dies — in perhaps six months, or a year 
or two. His unmarried parents vacillate 
between angrily demanding conferences 
and avoiding the hospital for weeks at a 
time. Because Baby J is not brain-dead, 
the NICU staff must use every medical 
advance to keep him alive now. Ultimate- 
ly, however, nothing can save him from 
the inexorable course of his disease. 



"Here's a case where technology has 
overtaken rational thought," says 
Holzman. 

The team arrives at the bedside of 
a six-week-old who has inherited Rieger 
syndrome — an eye abnormality — from 
his mother. The normal treatment is eye 
surgery within a month of birth, but 
the anesthesiologist keeps postponing 
the operation because the infant's unsta- 
ble respiratory rates make it too hazar- 
dous. 

Nearby lies Baby C — delivered full- 
term at Beth Israel Medical Center two 
days earlier — who is recuperating from 
open-heart surgery. After a robust start, 
his color had changed so dramatically 
that an EKG was ordered. It confirmed 
that the left side of his heart was 
malformed, and the boy, the fourth child 
of a Hasidic family, was moved to Mount 
Sinai's NICU. "Waiting's the worst 
thing," his father, pacing, had told 
the rounds team before the operation, 
while assuring it that "everything will be 
fine." 

And for Baby C, everything is fine (if 
open-heart surgery in the first week of 
life can be considered fine). One week af- 
ter having his ventricles repaired, he will

be sent back to the hospital 
where he was born, for 
observation. 

KNOWN AT 
Mount Sinai 
as "Holz- 
man's Har- 
em" or "Ian's 
Angels," the 
largely female rounds team 
reflects the growing pre- 
ponderance of women in 
pediatrics. Resident Maria 
Stern, 25, whose rotation 
also includes Elmhurst 
Hospital, has two earrings 
in each ear and a pixieish 
haircut. Born with a right 
arm that ends at the elbow, 
she has learned to com- 
pensate by using her teeth 
and her stump but is still 
unable to ventilate an in- 
fant — that is, to insert a 
breathing tube through his 
vocal cords. When Stern 
arrived at Mount Sinai as 
a fourth-year medical stu- 
dent, she was afraid to 
touch the babies. "I 
thought if I rolled them 
the wrong way, their 
tubes would fall out," 
she says. 

Twenty-seven-year-old 
Mimi Green Katz, the other 
resident on the team, is 
married to a dermatology resident. She 
plans to go into general pediatrics and to 
start a family soon. But, she says, "this is 
a fertile background for nightmares. I 
know I'll panic until I hear my baby cry 
and know it's all right. And I'll tell you 
this: I won't be here when I'm pregnant. I 
won't even pass by." 

Eight months into her first year as an 
intern, Carolyn Robbins, 26, has short 
brown hair with bangs, blue-green 
eyes — and a distaste for the concept of 
rotations. "It stinks for patients and par- 
ents, not having one doctor follow 
through," she says. "We do a lot of inter- 
vention; we save a lot of babies. I've seen 
a baby delivered virtually dead come 
back to life. Now our major turmoil is 
with ethical questions." 

Curly-haired intern Lisa Schwartz, 27, 
is a graduate of Mount Sinai's medical 
school. She used to pick at her long fin- 
gernails, but no more — a resolution 
prompted by fear of infection, she ad- 
mits. Schwartz has just decided to switch 
from pediatrics to obstetrics because she 
wants to work with high-risk mothers 
"who talk back. But I like what I'm doing 
here, too," she says. "It's nice to see 
some of these infants go home, and I be- 
lieve I'm making a difference." 
The sole man on the team, Paul Berger, 




Pauline Legall heads the nicu's staff of 52 nurses. 



31, is serious and clean-cut. A second- 
year fellow, he will be a full-fledged 
neonatologist by the end of this rotation. 
Berger recently switched from family 
practice to neonatology but allows that 
"working here is rough, fatiguing, and 
sometimes causes despair." Berger has 
an eleven-year-old son and a three-year- 
old daughter; a second son is about to 
arrive. "I'm frightened," he says. "After 
seeing all of this, I don't know about nor- 
mal babies anymore." 

Early Tuesday morning, the Nigerian 
baby dies peacefully. Supervising nurse 
Pauline Legall and attending nurse Janet 
Racette remove the mass of tubes snak- 
ing around her and slip a clean hospital 
gown over her grossly enlarged stomach. 

Resident Stern worries about the death 
certificate, the second one of her career. 
She wants to describe the cause of death 
as cardiac arrest, but Holzman disallows 
it, suggesting instead "aspirated meconi- 
um"— that the infant breathed in her 
stool during delivery — as well as 
asphyxia. 

The father arrives and sits with his 
dead daughter. Intern Robbins and Ka- 
ren Rock, one of the two social workers 
assigned to the Unit, join him to discuss 
her burial. "We try to help with bereave- 
ment, or when a mother leaves the hospi- 



tal without her baby or later when she 
takes home a very sick child," says Rock. 
"We help parents interact with babies in 
this environment. Any way you have a 
baby up here is a loss — through dying or 
the loss of the perfect birth experience. 
We validate that experience. You get 
hardened by being here," she adds, "but 
not so hardened that you can't hear the 
pain." 

Baby S's isolette is rolled away for ster- 
ilization. Later, when I retrieve my coat 
from the cubbyhole that has served as a 
conference room, I'm startled by a 
brown-paper package on the table. It is 
the dead baby, waiting to be taken to the 
hospital's morgue. 

PAULINE LEGALL HAS HEADED 
the nursing staff here — her 
fifth NICU— since 1985. She 
schedules 52 full-time nurses, 
who work 37.5 hours a week 
in unconventional time 
blocks and earn from $27,000 to $40,000 
a year. The Unit is understaffed, reflect- 
ing a nationwide nursing shortage as well 
as Mount Sinai's low pay and aging facil- 
ity, and the generally hard conditions of 
the job. An intense, stressful place 
keeps applicants away, says Legall. 
"These are pathetically sick babies, and

there's no differential for combat pay." 

Yet for many of the core staff, the pre- 
cariousness of the babies' hold on life is 
the draw. Some take their work home, 
phoning in to ask the next shift about 
their charges. Legall calls often, but not 
so much to ask about her tiny patients as 
about their caretakers, and how they're 
coping. "Trouble comes not so much 
from an expected death as from an unex- 
pected one, when a baby who seemed to 
be doing well suddenly reverses," she 
says. "The saving grace of this place is 
that you get to see a baby go through real 
changes — and often go home — and you 
see how all this humbles the parents. I 
like the technology, but it's the apprecia- 
tion of the parents that keeps us going." 

Tuesday night at 10:32, a diabetic 
mother who's had three kidney trans- 
plants in the past year delivers twin girls 
eleven weeks early. Twin A, at 1,080 
grams — slightly more than two pounds — 
makes me gasp. "That's the big one," 
says resident Katz. "Wait till you see her 
sister." In another isolette lies a 440- 
grammer, looking more like a newborn 
mouse or puppy than a human child. 
She's about the length of a pencil, and a 
mottled purplish red. Everyone who sees 
her seems awed. 

On Wednesday morning, when the 
rounds team assesses the twins, Holzman 
orders minimal intervention. "No suc- 
tioning, no sticking. Even weighing a 
baby this small is an ordeal. Its whole 
blood volume is one ounce." Holzman 
asks the nurses to rub the infants' skin 
with safflower oil to keep it moist, but his 
colleagues protest. Won't the phototrop- 
ic lights burn the oiled babies? "A 
myth," Holzman says, suggesting that 
they rub just half of each baby with oil to 
see for themselves that it won't burn. 
"Look at it as a project," he says. Unfor- 
tunately, the Unit — indeed, the whole 
hospital — is out of safflower oil. But 
then, shortages are common: Towels are 
sometimes enlisted as blankets. 

Now it's on to the "feeders and grow- 
ers," or what other hospitals call the 
"step down" unit because its occupants 
require care that is a step down in inten- 
sity. Many of these babies are tethered to 
pulse oximeters, which measure the oxy- 
gen in their blood — and which are rented 
at "exorbitant rates," complains Holz- 
man, who must balance the budget as 
well as tend to the medical needs of his 
charges. 

Baby M, who has been here for four 
months, no longer needs her pulse oxi- 
meter, and Holzman orders it discon- 
nected. (At the end of the week, the doc- 
tors will allow her to go home, but her 
suddenly panicky mother will have to be 
talked into taking her.) She arrived 
weighing less than two pounds and with 



disconnected intestines. Complicated 
surgery corrected that. 

"Look at her, Doc; she's too light," 
jests the father, a painter who works in 
the hospital, as he cuddles his pinkish 
daughter. "I'm chocolate and my wife's 
dark. We want a dark baby." (Many pree- 
mies have a purplish tone regardless of 
their race; normal pigmentation for 
blacks usually develops by the second 
month.) "Everyone else wants a light 
baby and you want a dark one?" jokes 
Holzman. 

A 1,300-gram baby, one of the few 
white males in the unit, is also losing his 
pulse oximeter, but he won't be going 
home until he gains 500 grams and takes 
nourishment well. (White boys fare the 
poorest in intensive-care units, and black 
girls do best. "In general, boy babies are 
more likely to die than girls," says Holz- 
man, "and black babies do better than 
white ones.") 

IF THE NICU CAN BE COMPARED TO A 
ship, then on Wednesday night, it 
took on water. 
Nights are often 
rough, with a 
smaller staff han- 
dling the same number 
of patients. Stern, Rob- 
bins, and Holzman were 
on duty when, in the 
early-morning hours, 
the pulse oximeter of 
Baby L, born Monday 
morning, started plum- 
meting. "We tried the 
usual things, like bag- 
ging [using a hand-held 
respirator], supplying 
oxygen, and suctioning 
with a catheter," says 
Stern, "but nothing 
worked. By 3 a.m., we'd 
given a full resuscita- 
tion, and then it dawned 
on us that this baby, 
who we all thought was 
out of the woods, wasn't 
coming around and 
wasn't going to." At 
4:15, his heart stopped. 
"It happened so quickly," adds Robbins 
softly. "It was the first time I'd worked on 
someone so closely who died." 

At 4:30 a.m., Holzman called the fam- 
ily, who straggled in, clutching one an- 
other. The mother cradled her dead son 
for a long time, the doctor reported; the 
ashen-faced father wouldn't touch him. 
Long after they had left the Unit, Baby 
L's maternal grandmother sat in a 
chair rocking him, singing him lull- 
abies. 

Other troubles erupted in the Unit that 
night. The lungs of the 440-gram twin

kept giving out. "She couldn't keep oxy- 
genation [adequate oxygen in the blood] 
and she wasn't ventilating [getting rid of 
carbon dioxide] well," says Robbins. Sev- 
eral newborns were sent up for evalua- 
tion and ultimately dispatched to the 
well-baby nursery, four floors below. 

Nurse Mary Lou Lynch has worked in 
the NICU for thirteen years. "I love what 
I do," she says. "There's a real reward if 
the babies get better, and if they don't, I 
accept that. Sometimes I become at- 
tached — one 600-gram boy stayed for 
four months, and I grew attached to that 
family. I've seen him grow up." 

Lynch and Lorna Geary work together 
in perfect, wordless concert. Geary has 
been a nurse at Mount Sinai since 1963 
and in the NICU for fifteen years. 
"There's a lot more equipment now, and 
we're saving lots more babies," she says. 
"Before we had monitors, we became 
more attached to the children, even 
sometimes feeling as if they were our 
own. Now all the technical advances 
have made this more of a job. Some of 
the nurses call from 
home to check on their 
patients, but when I 
leave the hospital, I 
leave these tensions be- 
hind." 

Thursday morning. In 
a step-down chamber, 
Baby N lies shaking and 
trembling. On his iso- 
lette is a small sign 
warning that he may be 
infectious. His mother 
died during delivery, of 
drug-related complica- 
tions; an autopsy test re- 
vealed her to be HIV- 
positive. His drugged- 
out father alternates 
between dozing off in 
conversations and bel- 
ligerently accusing the 
doctors of killing his 
wife. (The Centers for 
Disease Control have 
recommended testing 
for aids in newborns in 
30 cities, including New 
York; before, doctors simply assumed 
certain infants were infected.) "Gloves 
should be worn, but they feel so foreign 
when handling babies," says Holzman. 
"aids is, quite frankly, just another infec- 
tion that parents have given their babies. 
Our aids patients are just another group 
of babies with a death sentence." 

Holzman studies a boy delivered dur- 
ing the night to a drug abuser who admit- 
ted she had shot up cocaine earlier that 
afternoon, and decides to consign him to 
the well-baby nursery. The nurses there 
are reluctant to accept him. "If he starts

to withdraw, we'll take 
him back," Holzman 
mutters. 

Across the room lies 
Baby H, who has been in 
the Unit for six months. 
Born twelve weeks ear- 
ly, she has an array of 
problems: hypothyroid- 
ism, bad lungs, hydro- 
cephalus (water on the 
brain), and possibly ce- 
rebral palsy. Her head is 
enlarged despite a plas- 
tic shunt to drain the 
fluid. She has a cleft pal- 
ate and still can't "nip- 
ple" well. Nevertheless, 
her mother remains 
cheerfully optimistic. 
She has placed hand- 
lettered signs inside her 
daughter's plastic home 
asking the nurses to 

PLEASE SWADDLE ME — 

my arms too and 
thanking them with 
love from h. And she 
has hired a home-care nurse and made 
bold plans for the future, vowing to deal 
with the developmental problems as they 
surface. 

Nearby, a mother of twins is waiting to 
sign one of them out and be given the 
customary take-home package — a knit- 
ted cap, a plastic teddy bear, nipples, and 
several cans of infant formula. (Parents 
tend to keep their child on whatever for- 
mula the hospital provided, so, in the in- 
terest of fairness, the brand is changed 
periodically.) She is upset because the 
other twin is still tethered to oxy- 
gen—and his NICU bed. "It's not 
my fault," Holzman tells the nurse 
who is pleading her case. "Speak 
to the kid." 



THIS THURSDAY, MORN- 
ing rounds take a differ- 
ent form. In a small 
meeting room, Dr. Kurt 
Hirschhorn, the musta- 
chioed, bushy-browed 
chairman of Mount Sinai's pediat- 
rics department, is holding forth 
on Baby I and Werdnig-Hoffmann 
syndrome. "You've got to sit down 
and get the pedigree, not just of 
this pregnancy but of the mother," 
he says. "She's got two normal 
kids. Is this the same father? Is it 
the father's brother? Are they mar- 
ried, or is it a liaison? An experi- 
enced mother would say, "This kid 
isn't moving in utero,' " Dr. 
Hirschhorn goes on. "Some kids 
are born floppy with other devel- 
opmental conditions and, in three

a resident. 



weeks, two months, sud- 
denly get normal." But 
Werdnig-Hoffmann ba- 
bies survive only six 
months to two years. 

"These children show 
love, and it's hard for 
parents to say, 'Enough 
intervention, let it go,' " 
he says. "But once they 
make that decision, it's 
your job to support it, 
even if it's 180 degrees 
different from what 
you'd do. What I've just 
said in twenty seconds 
takes an average of two 
hours to tell a parent. 
You can't expect that 
you can just sit down 
and they'll hear you. 
The coping mechanism 
is well defined. First 
comes denial, then an- 
ger, then guilt, and fi- 
nally grief. 

"It's difficult," 
Hirschhorn continues, 
"but you can't allow a personal reaction 
to the parents' anger. If they call you 
names, let it go. The risk of divorce for 
parents of a child with a genetic disease 
is three to four times the norm. Some 
people get hung up with their anger for 
years. If you see that happening, call a 
psychiatrist, because you need special- 
ized help. I've seen people move through 
these stages to understanding and accep- 
tance in hours, and others not move 
through at all." 
By Friday morning, several babies have

been transferred out of the Unit. "We're 
like car dealers shuffling them on the 
lot," says Holzman, grinning. But the tiny 
twins are still there. Their exhausted 
mother, brought to see them in a wheel- 
chair, stares at her offspring. The smaller 
one, now down to 380 grams (newborns 
invariably lose weight right after birth), 
has less sodium in her body than a potato 
chip, notes Holzman. He was on call last 
night, as he is every fourth night during 
his every-other-month rotation. "I like it. 
It's fun," he says. "There's an adrenaline 
rush with lots going on — like an air-traf- 
fic controller. I'm a hands-on doctor and 
I like the families and the teaching, but 
frankly, I can't imagine doing this ten 
years from now." 

By Monday morning, the NICU cen- 
sus has dropped to 22. At 3:10 on Fri- 
day afternoon, the smaller of the twins 
died of kidney failure and hyaline- 
membrane disease. She was 46 hours 
old. The death stunned her parents, 
who somehow believed she would pull 
through. Three long-termers have gone 
home, including the hydrocephalic baby 
with the shunt in her head. Two new ba- 
bies have been admitted to the Unit — one 
has a minor respiratory problem and 
will soon be dispatched to the well- 
baby nursery; the other is a severely 
premature neonate with respiratory 
and possibly neurological problems. 
The tubes have been removed from 
Baby J — he now breathes by himself, 
and he has been moved in with the 
feeders and growers. His prognosis 
hasn't changed, but he will be able to 
go home before his condition worsens 
and he returns to the hospital to die. 



ONE LAST TIME, I WALK 
past the rooms of feed- 
ers and growers to the 
ancient receiving desk, 
where a nurse gives me 
permission to flip 
through the admissions book, a mas- 
sive black ledger. Recording every 
baby's name, birth weight, time and 
date of birth, and race, the diagnosis 
and disposition and the mother's 
name and address, these are pages 
you could imagine God reviewing. 
Discharges and transfers far out- 
number deaths. 

The book seems especially thick, 
and with a sense of foreboding, I 
check to see where it begins: early 
1986. Heart pounding and fingers 
trembling, I turn to November 4. 
There, on the left side of the page, 
are two entries under my name. 
Twin A, born at 2,000 grams, went 
home seventeen days after arrival. 
Twin B expired in the Unit. I notice 
that my address is wrong. m

to be stored. The food 
is going to the country. 
The big wall unit in the 
living room goes into 
storage, but the stuff in 
it goes to the country." 

By tomorrow, the Herbert Morris fam- 
ily — Morris, a marketing and manage- 
ment consultant; his wife, Susan, an art- 
ist; their two sons, Zachary, three and a 
half, and Joshua, twenty months; and 
Dora Diaz, the housekeeper — will be his- 
tory at 300 East 56th Street, the high rise 
where they've lived for the past several 
years. Three men in their twenties, two 
fitted out in red T-shirts with a moishe's 
logo on the chest, are wheeling in dollies 
piled with pads and boxes. 

The foreman is listening to instruc- 
tions from Morris, a burly man of 59 who 
looks as if he could flatten all four mov- 
ers before the first-round bell. This is un- 
doubtedly one reason for his air of un- 
flappable authority; another is that when 
Morris worked for Revlon, he moved sev- 
en times in eleven years. "There's no 
such thing as a spectacular move," he 
says. "You go to a restaurant for dinner; 
if you're lucky, the food's good. You 
move, and if you're lucky you get a good 
crew; if not, you don't." 

Moishe's gave the Morrises "a very 
good job" on their last move, so they're 
hopeful; moreover, Morris, who is Jew- 
ish, admits to feeling comfortable "deal- 
ing with people we have some kind of 
kinship to." 



VERY MONTH, NEARLY 

1,500 New Yorkers 
move with Moishe's, 
for a variety of reasons 
of which ethnic rap- 
port is only the most 
obvious. Moishe's 33 bright-red trucks 
(on a very busy day, up to 15 more are 
rented) are so conspicuous around the 
five boroughs that TV and movie crews 
are beginning to use them as symbols of 
the city. All this has happened with a 
speed that competitors find positively in- 
decent: The company is just six years old. 

The young men in the red shirts are 
likely to surprise any customer who 
hasn't moved in New York in recent 
years. Of the four moving the Morrises, 
Nick, the lowest-ranking (now packing 
pillows, disposable diapers, and toys), is a 
student at Brigham Young University, 
finishing his summer job. Yigal, the 
third-ranked man (wrapping each dish in 
two layers of white paper), is the 26-year- 
old prodigal son of a genetic engineer at 
the Weitzman Institute; he's supported 
his wanderlust with moving jobs for the 
past three years. Paul, 28, the assistant 



M 



E $ HIS M 




foreman, who used to teach physical 
education in the south Bronx, is financ- 
ing a master's degree: He's been working 
for Moishe's for two years. 

Marco, the foreman, a muscular 24- 
year-old fresh from three years with the 
Israeli army in Lebanon, is one of 
Moishe's stars. In twenty months he's 
done 1,000 moves, the last 50 with no 
damage ("I want the furniture like my 
furniture. I don't like any chip in my 
apartment"). He can work from 8 a.m. till 
five the next morning with few breaks 
and no flagging, and he has an air of firm 
assurance to match Morris's. Now, near- 
ing the end of his stint on the trucks, he 
hopes to move up in Moishe's corporate 
hierarchy. 




Though Moishe's 
15,000 gigs a year 
aren't confined to 
Manhattan, he's gar- 
nered half that 
borough's residen- 
tial-moving market. 




^cr- 



One doesn't think of moving compa- 
nies' having a corporate hierarchy, let 
alone one in which ex-foremen can move 
up, but every man in this company's of- 
fices and on its — yes — management team 
has served time on the trucks. Every man, 
that is, except 45-year-old Arthur Wein- 
berg, a former assistant professor at Mary- 
mount who handles customer relations 
and corporate sales. Cool heads like 
Marco may land in the stressful dispatch- 
er's job; others may work in the ware- 
house or document-storage department; 
and the clean-cut, sincere, persuasive 
types become salesmen-estimators. 

At the top of this pyramid sits 31 -year- 
old Moishe Mana, a suntanned wisp of a 
man who, like any corporate CEO, rallies 
his troops with inspirational missives: 
"The Foreman is the spinal cord that 
connects between the Sales Office, the 
Team he is leading, the Dispatch Office 
and on the other hand the Custom- 
er. .. . Every job must finish with a hand- 
shake and a smile!!" 



There are 180 troops. The empire, 
which includes residential and commer- 
cial moving, a leasing company set up to 
handle the trucks, mini-storage and doc- 
ument-storage affiliates, and real-estate 
holdings, will do upwards of $12 million 
in revenue this year, of which, Moishe 
says, at least $7.5 million will come from 
moving. While this figure sounds less 
than astounding, it's high for the indus- 
try. (Robert Miller, the New York State 
Department of Transportation [D.O.T.] 
regulator for Manhattan, guesses that 
Moishe's has garnered about half the 
Manhattan residential market.) It covers 
a volume of more than 15,000 jobs a year. 
Not all of them, of course, are major fam- 
ily moves like the Morrises'; many are 
$300 gigs — say, Junior moving to his first 
apartment or young couples relocating 
to another studio. Besides his New York 
State license, Moishe has a license from 
the Interstate Commerce Commission 
(ICC) for interstate moves. 



'HE FIRST THING A NEW 

Yorker who plans a 
substantial move is 
likely to encounter, if 
he or she calls compa- 
nies at random, is a 
vast range of prices. The reasons for the 
price variations help explain Moishe's 
success and the rivalries in a field that is 
competitive to a fault. 

There are two components in a mover's 
estimate. One is the amount of time it will 
take to pack, load, and transport the cus- 
tomer's goods from one residence to an- 
other. There should be very little variation 
in pricing here, Moishe points out: "All of 
us has to wrap the furnitures. All of us has 
to drive. Translate the money into hours of 
men working. It can never happen that 
someone saves five hours." 

The second component, however, is 
each company's rate for a van and three 
men, as filed with the New York State 
D.O.T. In Manhattan, van-and-three 
charges for licensed movers range from 
$47 to $137 an hour. Charging the top 
rate are some 25 old-line companies — 
like Morgan and Brother and Santini 
Brothers — that employ union help. They 
pay their workers from $12.23 to $13.03 
an hour plus time and a half or double 
time for overtime plus paid national holi- 
days and contributions to the pension 
fund. Challenging the old-line houses are 
some 90 nonunion Manhattan movers, 
like Moishe, whose wages and employ- 
ment policies vary but allow a rate way 
below those of the union houses. Moishe, 
for example, charges $66 for a van and 
three, which is about average among li- 
censed nonunion companies. Unlicensed 
movers — the kind whose fliers litter the

streets and bus stops — charge even less. 

This basic difference accounts for 
Moishe's popularity and the incursions 
of his smaller peers, which seem insig- 
nificant individually but are dramatic 
enough in the aggregate to start the guys 
at Local 814 of the Teamsters Union 
breathing fire. "There's a new design out 
there. . .these companies have put a hurt- 
in' on [union men]," says Bob Corbett. 
until recently president of the local, 
which has had heavy weather in general 
since 1986, when four of its officers were 
convicted of racketeering in the commer- 
cial market. (A court-appointed trustee 
now oversees the union's activities.) 
Since Moishe's is the most visible of the 
new movers, the union has expressed its 
displeasure by picketing its office, on 
Second Avenue at 85th Street. 

Corbett, who wasn't charged with any 
wrongdoing, recently moved on to Day & 
Meyer, Murray & Young. He says the 
union houses started losing the residen- 
tial market in the sixties, when Hertz and 
Avis began renting small trucks-with- 
ramps that the consumer could use to 
move himself; from then on, he says, 
"union moves always dealt with wealthy 
and above-middle-class people." New 
companies like Moishe's have found a 
niche in between U-Haul and the Mor- 
gans: Union shops do much more com- 
mercial than residential moving 




(Moishe's is still a minor contender in the 
commercial market). 



(HE NEW DESIGN, AS 

Corbett calls it, begins 
with immigrants — par- 
ticularly Israelis, who 
are to the moving busi- 
ness what Koreans are 
to fruit-and-vegetable stores. Their pro- 
totype is Moishe himself, who was not 
the traditional Ellis Island sort of immi- 
grant but a 24-year-old seeking action 
and adventure. 

Moishe had grown up in modest cir- 
cumstances in Tel Aviv: "My father didn't 
go to law school, and that's why he's al- 
ways pumping me to be successful." 
Moishe lasted one boring year in law 
school, making just enough money from a 
neighborhood shopping guide he pub- 
lished to save up the fare to the U.S. 
"When I got to New York, I did not have 
money, but you go hang out, and you want 
to have a good time, and you don't want to 
sleep for two or three days. I hang out till 
two in the morning, and then I was cheap 
enough to say, 'It's only six hours, so may- 
be I just stay here on the park bench,' plus I 
didn't know where to go for the hotel. I 
was very happy, very energetic, very look- 
ing forward what to do." 
Moishe found people to stay with and 



got jobs as a pot washer at a lewish camp 
upstate ("They used to bring people to see 
the pans, how clean they were"), a ma- 
chinery salesman on Canal Street, a dish- 
washer at an Israeli nightclub, and, final- 
ly, a street peddler in Washington 
Square. "I did it for three weeks," 
Moishe says. "Then at 1 a.m., I said, 'This 
is it, I am selling the last jumpsuit and 
then I am not going to do it anymore.' 
But this Israeli comes to me, he says, 
'First let me buy this jumpsuit; then do 
you want to work for me in construc- 
tion?' He starts telling me he is rich. So I 
said, 'Beautiful, I'll work for you.' " 

The man set Moishe up in an aban- 
doned house in Park Slope and put him to 
work doing demolition, but when Moishe 
wanted his pay, the boss pleaded cash-flow 
problems. The upshot was that he started 
borrowing what little money Moishe had — 
purportedly as an investment in the build- 
ing — and in return let Moishe use his van 
for delivery jobs in the evenings. It took six 
months and nearly $4,000 for Moishe — 
who has the entrepreneur's optimistic tem- 
perament — to get wise. After a big blowout 
with the boss, he was told to take the van 
and go. "I went out from his house with 
gasoline in the van and maybe ten bucks in 
my pocket, and I start looking for jobs," 
Moishe says. "People start to hire me for 
moving little apartments. I put more and 
more fliers, and after six months I had a lot

of people calling me. I used to deliver tow- 
els for a gay bathhouse. 

"It was good timing when I came into 
the business," Moishe says. "I really could 
see how the market is exposed, how much 
work there is and how there really is not 
good moving companies on the residential 
end of it. I feel like I am riding in the 
desert." 



F YOU SHOULD RIDE IN 

Moishe's 
van, you 
may well 
hear, on 
the ra- 
dio, WNCN or WQXR 
(Moishe is a Lite FM type). 
Unlike union movers, the 
men Moishe hires — almost 
all of them single and care- 
free — devoutly hope not to 
spend their lives at the job. 
Accordingly, the union 
benefits are unimportant to 
them (although employees 
who stay more than a sum- 
mer at Moishe's do get va- 
cations and Blue Cross/ 
Blue Shield); they work 
to finance a particular goal, 
or they hope to move up in 
the company. For a short 



time, they're willing to work days and 
nights at a clip at straight time, getting 
little sleep. The starting wage is $7 an 
hour; in a very few cases the rate can in- 
crease to $15, but for most movers it lin- 
gers at around $8 or $9. "It's very hard 
work and it puts a lot of abuse on your 
body," Moishe says, "so you cannot do it 
long time. The people know they're com- 
ing for two or three years." If the mover 
is a valued employee, Moishe will have a 
desk job for him at the end of this time. 




AN ESTIMATOR (RIGHT) TRIES TO WIN THE JOB. 



What keeps all this going is what busi- 
nesspeople call a strong corporate cul- 
ture. The first Moishe's employees grew 
up together on two kibbutzim, Sarid and 
Sha'ar Ha'Amaqim; like all the Israelis 
in the company, they came here right af- 
ter their army hitches and were working 
for Shleppers or Rush Safe Delivery 
when Moishe hired them. Two of the for- 
mer kibbutzniks are American-born. 
Twenty-eight-year-old Gene Lemay, 
Moishe's right-hand man, moved from 
Michigan to the kibbutz 
with his family, lived there 
for ten years, and returned 
here after army service; 
Harry Kofler, a wiry 39- 
year-old with a military 
haircut, visited Israel after 
college and stayed at Sarid 
for a year and a half; now 
he's in charge of personnel. 

Most movers are the 
friends or relatives of other 
movers, and often their 
girlfriends work in the of- 
fice. These days, the supply 
of Israeli immigrants isn't 
infinite, so the company is 
recruiting at colleges. 
While half the office staff is 
Israeli, only 35 percent of 
the men in the red shirts 
are, and the depot looks a

bit like an old Levy's rye-bread ad. Em- 
ployees share apartments, hang out after 
work, have Seders and Thanksgiving din- 
ners together, and talk a lot of shop. 
Asked why he stays at Moishe's instead 
of joining the union, Marco says, "For us, 
it's like brothers. I don't think I'm gonna 
find old friends like in Moishe's." 



'ne morning in early 
September, Hagai, a 
strapping 24-year-old, 
sets off to do some es- 
timates. The estimate 
is, obviously, a crucial 
factor in the success of the move: If it's 
too high, a competitor will land the job 
(an estimator is a salesman, with a sales- 
man's temperament and motives), but an 
inaccurately low figure will eventually 
produce an unhappy customer. To com- 
pound the problem, it can also produce a 
surly foreman. 

The first prospect is a perky English 
couple with a baby. They are moving 
from the Pythian Temple building, a re- 
hab on West 70th Street, to the suburbs. 
The apartment is an oddly laid-out two- 
bedroom triplex with some expensive- 
looking furniture, including a grandfa- 
ther clock and a complicated marble 
table that must be dismantled and crated. 
There's also a piano and a computer. The 



wife will pack books and clothing; the 
movers will pack the rest. 

Hagai tells them that their move will 
take four men ten hours at $84 an hour 
half an hour to get to the apartment, five 
hours to load, one hour to get to the new 
house, and three hours to unload. Mate- 
rials — including a $100 crate — should 
cost $369.50. He suggests they buy extra 
insurance on the more valuable pieces 
and tells them, "Don't plan to pack in 
two or three days — it takes two weeks. 
You get tired sooner than you think." 

Hagai asks the couple how they heard 
about Moishe's. "We've seen your trucks 
and your store, and our neighbor used 
you," the husband says. The couple 
seems fairly well sold. (In the end, 
though, Nice Jewish Boy underbids 
Moishe's and gets the job.) Hagai gives 
them a packet of materials — some slick 
brochures designed by the graphic artist 
who works full-time for the company, a 
copy of a favorable report from the 
D.O.T., and reprints of press clippings. 
Moishe's promotional flair, which in- 
cludes these handouts, is one more thing 
that nettles his competitors. Hagai de- 
scribes the "well-educated young peo- 
ple" who work for Moishe's, but he 
doesn't need to press too hard. Just as 
he's packing his briefcase, however, the 
husband says, "We want you to stop at 
two offices before coming here and pick 



up two lateral files, a glass-topped table, 
and a desk." That, Hagai says, will take 
$140 more in time and materials. 

The estimate for the couple turns out 
to be $1,350. Later they ask for a guaran- 
teed cap to the job: That comes to $1 ,550. 
State law requires a special, complex 
form for maximum guarantees. At pres- 
ent, few firms are using it, but Miller, the 
D.O.T. regulator, says he considers any 
guarantee binding if it's dated and signed 
by the customer and the moving compa- 
ny. In most cases, customers get caps 
only when they're savvy enough to ask 
for them. Moishe's customers say the cap 
is honored. I found that customers who 
get caps tend to be happier than those 
who don't. 

"If we have to go through a lobby in- 
stead of a service entrance, it can mean 
an extra hour and a half," says Hagai, 
talking about factors that drive a price 
above the estimate. Parking and traffic 
problems also eat up time. Moishe is in- 
stalling a computer program that lists the 
idiosyncrasies of every building the com- 
pany has worked in — how long the halls 
are, the size of the elevator, when the ele- 
vator closes — to improve the accuracy of 
estimates. Another unknown, Moishe 
points out, is how organized the custom- 
er will be. Finally, the estimator is hu- 
man, and some humans are more fallible 
than others.

[HERE ARE TWO PARTS 

[to Moishe's basic sales 
pitch. One is the "edu- 
cated young people" 
with the hardworking 
Israeli mentality, an 
approach used less often as Americans 
join Moishe's and hordes of competitors 
also make this claim. The other is the ad- 
vantages of size and volume. In a tougher 
competitive situation, Hagai would point 
out that when a truck breaks down, there 
are 32 others to be plugged in as replace- 
ments and three full-time mechanics on 
staff; that with a large staff it's easier to 
match the right foreman to a job; and 
that a bigger, richer company is better 
equipped to resolve damage claims. 
Small competitors like 27-year-old Ben- 
jamin Schmill of Sabra's, a five-truck, 
twenty-man operation, will say it's hard 
to keep control of a big enterprise and 
that his customers get more personal serv- 
ice. "/ am owner," says Schmill. "/ am 



making sure everybody came shaved, no- 
body is stoned." 

Like the large union houses, Moishe's 
has a separate department to resolve 
damage claims; there's no question that 
this was a problem when the company 
was smaller, and now its representatives 
play the difference to the hilt. "The 
smaller the company, the harder it is for 
operation," Moishe says. "It's one owner 
who does everything by himself — an- 
swering the phone, hiring the guys, pay- 
ing the bills, fixing the trucks. On one 
line, a customer calls you who's shop- 
ping. The second line, the mover calls. 
The third line, the customer calls for the 
damage. Who do you answer first? The 
damage call will be the last one." 

Moishe says moving companies gener- 
ally pay — or don't pay — damages out of 
their own pockets, since too large a claim 
would drive the company's insurance 
premiums up (the policy is there in case 
the truck burns down). The separate in- 



surance Moishe's customers buy from 
him doesn't buy a policy but is placed in 
a fund — averaging $60,000 a month — set 
up to pay damage claims, which individ- 
ually seldom exceed $1,500. When the 
money is there, there's an impetus to pay 
for damages to preserve goodwill. In ad- 
dition to the staffer who handles damage 
claims, the company has its own full-time 
repairman for ordinary furniture and 
uses antiques restorers and glass and 
marble artisans when necessary. A sub- 
sidiary of Sotheby's appraises antiques to 
help resolve the claims.

years for a five-story brownstone in Park 
Slope. In home furnishings, we are maximalists; indeed, we 
needed to buy only two rattan chairs and a twig rocker to fill 
the four floors we now occupy. 

Our furniture runs to antiques and Oriental rugs; it's not 
museum-quality, but it's pretty good, the best item being a 
nine-foot-tall, eighteenth-century armoire we picked up on a 
rainy day in Bayonne, France. The walls of our apartment 
were well plastered with pictures, and there were breakable 
objects littering the tables and bookshelves. Besides antiques 
and heirlooms, we have lots of rustic pottery from trips to 
rustic places. Every blessed thing has a story behind it, and 
we are highly sentimental people. 

We assumed this move would cost about $7,000. We 
sought bids from three companies: Hahn Brothers, a 100- 
year-old firm that works for many museums and galleries; 
Moishe's, which had just moved our cousins successfully; 
and a smaller Israeli company called Shalom. We cared 
about the price, but a careful job was more important. We 
were most curious to see what the range would be. I wanted 
the movers to pack everything, so they'd be responsible in 
case of damage and so I'd lose a minimum of work time. 

Hahn's — which gave the impression that the objects would 
practically be carried out one by one, cradled in the movers' 
arms — bid $1 1,600 for the job. Shalom — whose salesman/ap- 
praiser leaned heavily on the issue of ethnic affinity — bid 
$2,900. Moishe came in at $3,400. His salesman/appraiser 
was the very man who'd led a team of five carrying the ar- 
moire up seven flights on the hottest day in 1985, when 
Moishe's was still a fairly dinky outfit. Now Yoav carried a 
slick folder and delivered an impressive sales pitch that in- 
cluded an invitation to watch a move in progress. (That's a 
smart selling idea, although, of course, you'll learn more by 



debriefing the customer after the move.) He didn't vow on his 
ancestors' graves that nothing would break; he focused on 
Moishe's willingness to compensate us for any damage that 
might occur, because the business is built on word of mouth. 

Hahn's estimate was so stratospheric and Moishe's spiel so 
reassuring that we decided to go with Moishe. Fearing that a 
too-tight guarantee might lead workers to cut corners, I 
asked for a liberal cap. "Thirty-six hundred," said Yoav. 
"Let's round it off to $4,000," I said. 

The estimate was based on the assumption that four men 
would spend ten hours packing on the first day and six men 
would spend eleven hours packing, loading, moving, and un- 
loading on the second day. Materials would cost $1,000. But 
by ten o'clock the first night, the men had just about made a 
dent in the packing, so eight men were put on the job the 
second day. Even with the extra troops, it was ten o'clock that 
night before the second truck took off, in a pouring rain, for 
Brooklyn, and it was 5 a.m. before both trucks were empty. 
The climax occurred at 3 a.m., when four movers hauled the 
armoire up the stoop, then up the L-shaped staircase to the 
dining room. 

Throughout all this, the movers worked like plow horses, 
were pleasant and cheerful, and took a minimum of breaks; 
Marco, the foreman, took no breaks at all the second day. My 
husband and I had a betting pool on what it would cost, but 
when the time came to settle up, Marco said, "Four thousand 
is what the contract says." 

Nothing was broken. The only thing Moishe's lost was a 
tiny bone spoon that came with a china mustard pot. The 
only mistake the movers made was to remove the heavy iron 
key from the lock of a 200-year-old Danish blanket chest, 
drop it in the chest for "safekeeping," and close the lid. The 
chest was locked, we couldn't get it open later, and a lock- 
smith had to haul the whole thing back to his shop to open it. 

Two days later, Yoav, the appraiser, called to say that the 
job had actually cost $6,600 and he was in trouble with the 
boss. Taking pity, my husband and I settled on a partial 
bailout. — K.D.F.

MOISHE MAKES HIS MOVE 



place: I then called them about a week 
after the job was finished. I asked for 
complex jobs. Of the fifteen, twelve were 
delighted, one ambivalent, and two un- 
happy; those negative comments suggest 
that those I was slated to call were not 
singled out for special treatment. 

The happy customers were impressed 
by the hard work and professionalism of 
the movers, whom they found cheerful 
and accommodating; most of the esti- 
mates were on target, and a couple of 
moves cost less than the estimate. The es- 
timate for one customer was way too low, 
but he was so pleased with the job that he 
said he'd recommend Moishe's anyway. 
Most moves went through without dam- 
age; a piece of broken picture glass on 
one move was repaired within a day. 

What did the three critical customers re- 
port? In each case, the movers issued what 
one woman called "a heavy-handed de- 
mand for a huge tip." In two of three 
moves, the tip demand was coupled with a 
low estimate, which affected the tempers 
of the movers. One woman's problem 
started with a misunderstanding: She 
wanted the movers to unpack as well as 
pack, the estimator didn't pick this up, and 
from then on, everything went wrong. 

Considering the volume of Moishe's 
business, conversations with individual 
customers provide purely anecdotal evi- 
dence, and I didn't survey customers of 
Moishe's competitors. In 1985, however, 
before Moishe exploded onto the scene, 
the Metropolitan Moving and Storage 
Association (M.M.S.A.), a trade group, 
did do a customer survey. It sampled 240 
customers of 43 different companies; 84 
percent rated their move fair to excel- 
lent — a figure about equal to my sam- 
pling of Moishe's customers — but only 





Of the fifteen Moishe's 
customers I sampled, 
twelve were delighted, 
but three were put off 
by the movers' re- 
quest for a tip. 



47 percent would use the same mover 
again. Eighty percent of those I surveyed 
were willing to use Moishe's again. 

The New York State D.O.T. now gets 
between twelve and eighteen complaints 
a year about Moishe's, a figure Miller 
finds impressively low considering the 
company's volume; the ICC in Washing- 
ton has received two complaints in the 
past year. Moishe has had administra- 
tive-compliance problems in New Jersey: 
He began operating there without seek- 
ing a license and advertised in the Bergen 
County telephone book using his New 
York license number with a Jersey prefix. 
He's also had a running feud with the 
Better Business Bureau, which now gives 




MOISHE'S INDEFATIGABLE MEN CAN WORK ROUND THE CLOCK. 

64 NEW YORK/NOVEMBER 21, 1988 



him only its "Descriptive Report" rating, 
indicating that the company responds to 
all complaints, but not all have been re- 
solved. Unlike state regulators, however, 
the BBB doesn't generally visit movers and 
check their books; its assessment is thus 
more perfunctory than the D.O.T.'s. 




IBI HILE CONFRONTA- 

[ tions are far from inev- 
I itable, tipping is the 
sore spot between 
wM B nonunion movers and 

i the customer. Any 

moving company will tell you its employ- 
ees are forbidden to demand tips but are 
hard to control; still, staffers will say, 
they're less offensive than the competi- 
tion. Harry Kofler, Moishe's personnel 
man, says, "If the customer doesn't want 
to tip, our guys are supposed to walk 
away. If they harass a customer, they lose 
their job. We usually send memos and 
have a verbal session on what not to do." 

Customers should know that nonunion 
rates are based on the tip as incentive 
compensation. When asked what consti- 
tutes a fair tip, Moishe's estimators will 
say, "Ten to 15 percent of the final bill, 
depending on how you like the service." 
This sounds reasonable enough until the 
calculator flashes "400" and the custom- 
er turns pale; meanwhile, four broad- 
shouldered Israelis are staring her down. 
("We tell them not to loom over custom- 
ers," Kofler says.) 

Union movers are less likely to ask for 
a tip. But customers who pull out the cal- 
culator will discover that the total charge 
for a nonunion move with a 15 percent 
tip is still only about 55 percent of the 
total for a union move with no tip at all. 
Since tips are as basic to the moving busi- 
ness as they are to the restaurant busi- 
ness, the nonunion companies might 
save themselves considerable grief by 
making that clear on their brochures or 
estimate forms, or by just tacking on a 
service charge — but fear of competition 
prevents them from doing so. 

Moishe's own explanation of his suc- 
cess — "You make the mistake and you fix 
it" — is encouraging; his younger coun- 
trymen are just as smart and even hungri- 
er now. The moving business, Moishe 
says, is "very intense," and he'd rather 
base further expansion on the storage 
side. Six years of carting the possessions 
of the famous, the formerly famous, and 
the obscure has given him a healthy un- 
derstanding of the transitory nature of 
success: "You meet a Hollywood star 
who was big. Now nobody talks to him, 
and you look at him with sympathy. 
There's nothing like New York City to 
give you this feeling. So my goal is to en- 
joy life by the day." m

FUN-FILLED ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AMD PARENTS 
BY LYNN SCHNURNBERGER 



NEW YORKERS ARE ON THE GO, ALWAYS 

flying off in different directions. It's a 
much-lamented fact that families don't 
even sit around the dinner table together 
anymore. So when the weekend rolls 
around, it would be great to do some- 
thing everyone can enjoy. But what? 
You're bored with tiny-tot puppet shows, 
and you and nine-year-old Jamie aren't 
evenly matched at squash. The solution: 
activities designed with parents and chil- 
dren in mind — organized diversions that 
offer the whole family a chance to learn 
as well as relax. 

MAKE IT, LEARN IT 



ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF 
every month and all week 
long during Christmas 
and Easter vacations, 
look for Family Work- 
shops at the Cloisters. 
On December 3 at 1 p.m., children aged 
four to twelve and their parents will ex- 
plore the world of knights in shining ar- 
mor, heraldry, and chivalric legend dur- 
ing "Legendary Knights and Heroes." 
And youngsters won't go home empty- 
handed: At the end- of the tour, they'll 
create their own helmet visors embla- 
zoned with heraldic symbols. 

66 NEW YORK/NOVEMBER 21, 1988 



From December 27 to 30, the Cloisters 
will offer special holiday workshops, in- 
cluding "Christmas Celebration and 
Decoration in the Middle Ages" and 
"The Three Kings: A Medieval Play." 

All events are included in the suggest- 
ed admission price: $5 for adults (chil- 
dren under twelve free). Call for a sched- 
ule of events, then just show up for those 
you would like to attend. (Family Work- 
shops at the Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park; 
923-3700. ext. 126.) 



THE STATEN ISLAND CHILDREN S MUSEUM 

lures adults to its exhibitions with activi- 
ties that appeal to the whole family but 
are especially recommended for children 
aged seven to twelve. 

The newest exhibition — It's News to 
Me — which opens November 19, should 
fit the bill. There'll be a replica of a small 
TV studio; a chance for budding sports- 
casters to give a play-by-play account of a 
"sockey" (soccer and hockey) game; spe- 
cial projects, like designing the front 
page of your own newspaper; and a be- 
hind-the-scenes look at how television 
and print journalists gather, edit, and re- 
port the news. 

What's the frequency? The museum 
is open Wednesday through Friday from 
1 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays 



from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the exhibition 
should run for about one year. Admis- 
sion is $2; free for children under three. 
(It's News to Me at the Staten Island 
Children's Museum, 1000 Richmond Ter- 
race; 718-273-2060.) 



LEARN HOW TO BEND AND FOLD WITHOUT 

spindling and mutilating. On December 
10 from 3 to 5 p.m., children eight and up 
will learn origami — the ancient art of 
Japanese paper folding — from well- 
known teacher Michael Shall. The fee — 
$25 for adults and $15 for children — in- 
cludes a take-home package of decora- 
tive origami paper. 

Register by phone or pick up tickets at 
the reception desk on the day of the work- 
shop. (Origami at the Asia Society, 725 
Park Avenue, at 70th Street; 517-asia.) 



CHILDREN OF ALL AGES CAN USE THEIR 

senses to unlock The Mystery of Things. 
Beginning December 9, this exhibit at the 
Brooklyn Children's Museum will in- 
volve 300 cultural artifacts and scientific 
specimens, as well as many dolls from 
the museum's renowned collection. 

Using a sculpted papier-mache bus 
from Haiti, preschoolers will learn to 
identify colors while their older siblings 
learn about basket weaves in an activity

NEW YORK S NEWEST MUSEUM, THE IN- 

trepid, is located on a decommissioned 
900-foot naval aircraft carrier. The size of 
the ship is awesome — it's hard to believe 
that it used to float. Children seven and 
up will enjoy Men of Intrepid, a perma- 
nent exhibit containing artifacts donated 
by former crew members, including the 
flag that was first raised at the ship's 
commissioning ceremony 45 years ago. 

The Intrepid is also filled with many oth- 
er fascinating displays: space shuttles and 
lunar-landing modules; wood-and-fabric 
contraptions from the days of the daring 
young men in their flying machine. But 
parents who have misgivings about chil- 
dren's looking at guns, missiles, and a na- 
val exhibit stressing the role of the military 
should be forewarned.

creating Radio, at the Museum of Broad- 
casting through December 17, there will 
be a chance not only to hear the old radio 
shows but to act in them as well. By read- 
ing Buck Rogers, Inner Sanctum, and 
Lone Ranger scripts, participants will 
learn the tricks that made those creaking 
doors and galloping hooves seem so real. 

Children seven through fourteen can

the Native American Indian Exhibit at 

the Children's Museum of Manhattan will 
explore the American Indian's strong ties 
with the past while showing how he lives in 
the modern world. The ongoing exhibit 
will be divided into three environments — 
tepee, pueblo, and log house. 

As usual, the museum staff has planned 
a plethora of activities, including weekend 
try-it-yourself craft demonstrations, such 
as the forgotten art of finger weaving. The 
museum is open Tuesday through Friday 
from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Admission during the week is $1 for

ON NOVEMBER 19 AT THE MUSEUM OF THE 

City of New York, children eight to thir- 
teen will be Developing the Past. They'll 
look through the museum's old photos 
for historical information about the way 
people used to dress, their jobs, and dif- 
ferences between their lives and ours. 
Youngsters will also learn to make sim- 
ple pinhole cameras and will be encour- 
aged to keep their own historical records. 

The 90-minute workshop starts at 2 
p.m.; the cost is $3 for adults and $1 for 
children. (Developing the Past at the Mu- 
seum of the City of New York, 103rd

UNDER-FIVES 



BY THE TIME THEIR CHILDREN 
are teenagers, parents may 
feel that they don't speak the 
same language as their off- 
spring. So why not start from 
scratch and learn a language 
together? French for Tots is aimed at 
children one to three years, which means 



they will be learning French almost si- 
multaneously with English. "The best 
way!" declares French Workshop for 
Children director Francois Thibaut, who 
has been using this method for fifteen 
years: "They're learning so quickly at this 
age. First they hear, then they begin to 
speak." Parents may learn more slowly 
but should be able to keep up with the 
imaginative games used to teach tots to 
count, recognize colors, ask simple ques- 
tions, and name animals. 

Eight to twelve toddlers and their par- 
ents are led by one teacher and an assis- 
tant. Forty-five-minute classes meet two 
or three times a week at 9:30, 10:30, or 
1 1:30 a.m. for twelve weeks. The next se- 
mester begins in January. The cost for 
one parent and child is $419 for two 
classes a week; $584 for three a week.

in tradition — it's been around since the 
turn of the century. 

On Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 
noon, children three to six participate in 
a kaleidoscope of painting, 3-D-sculp- 
ture-making, puppet-making, and maybe 
even animation. Parents should expect to 
get their hands dirty. 

Each class has a maximum of ten chil- 
dren. The next session begins in Febru- 
ary and runs for eleven weeks, although 
it's possible to join mid-term. The fee is 
$90 per semester, plus a $10 registration 
fee. (Fantastic Voyage for Toddlers and 
Their Adult Partners at the Pratt Institute 
Saturday Arts and Animation School, 
200 Willoughby Avenue. Brooklyn; 718- 
636-3637.) 



INFANTS AND TODDLERS WILL PLAY WITH 

balls, scarves, toys, and bells as they 
dance with their parents to the Beatles 
and Beethoven during Rock V Roll 
With Baby. The one-hour class is for 
children five to nine months. "It's a love- 
ly time for parents and babies," says pro- 
gram director Fretta Reitzes. "It appeals 
to everybody's social side." 

The weekly class runs for six weeks 
and costs $95; the next session begins 
November 28. For information on this 
and a host of other under-five programs 
offered at the 92nd Street Y, call for a cat- 
alogue. (Rock 'n' Roll With Baby at the 
92nd Street Y. 1395 Lexington Avenue; 
427-6000, ext. 179.) 



CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS THREE AND A 

half make music Saturdays and after 
school at the Bloomingdale House of 
Music. Using the renowned Suzuki meth- 
od, toddlers learn to play simple melo- 
dies on the violin, viola, and cello before 
they learn to read music. Parents are en- 
couraged to learn the routine so they can 
help children at home; they may also find 
that this unpressured method is just the 
thing to help them get over their own fear 
of scales and decide to take up a string 
instrument themselves. 

A full semester (fifteen to eighteen 
weeks) of eighteen one-hour classes costs 
only $8 per session; there is also an annu- 
al $35 registration fee per family. In addi- 
tion, music theory ($6 per session) is rec- 
ommended for children over eight. (The 
Bloomingdale House of Music, 323 West 
108th Street; 663-6021.)

Something big is happening at The Museum of Modern Art. 



But the huge scale of Anselm Kiefer's work 
is only a small part of his art. Kiefer paints 
public memories mixed with private dreams— 
as he shuns the comfort of custom and 
fashion. Only 43 years old, he has already 
challenged Europe's ideas ot what an 
artist is and does. Now New York can 
join in the discovery. 

"ANSELM KIEFER: A RETROSPECTIVE" is 
the artist's first comprehensive exhibition in the 
United States. And The Museum of Modern 
Art is the final stop on its American tour. 
Kiefer's work demonstrates that boundaries 
of time and place need not be barriers to 
creativity. That is why Ford Motor Company is 
proud to sponsor this exhibition.

GOOD SPORTS 

COME FLY WITH ME: TEENAGE 
would-be fly-boys (and girls) 
will find other model-plane 
buffs who share their pas- 
sion at the Blue Angels Fly- 
ing Club. The fifteen-year- 
old club provides a place to fly 
(Ferrypoint Park, alongside the White- 
stone Bridge), camaraderie, and bi- 
monthly ground-school lessons in flying 
and building model planes; later, mem- 
bers may be ready to join their instruc- 
tors in competitions. Radio-controlled 
planes can do anything a regular plane 
can — loops, rolls, and spins. 

The planes cost about $350 to $400 each, 
and club president Angel Rondon recom- 
mends that newcomers to the sport speak 
to club members and observe different 
planes at Ferrypoint before buying one. 

The club has 180 members; about 
twenty are teenagers. Adults pay a one- 
time initiation fee of $100 and annual 
dues of $35; teenagers pay a $25 initia- 
tion fee, plus $9 annually. Members will 
also be required to purchase American 
Model Aeronautic insurance, $40 for 
adults, $10 for members under eighteen.

Karate Tae Kwon Do ts the art of

tie's temper tantrums make you think she 
already knows more than she needs to 
about the subject, rest assured. This Ko-

hand-and-foot coordination, is much like 
gymnastics — it may be just the thing to 
marshal some of Katie's excess energy. 

Children as young as four put on do

and begin calisthenic warm-ups. Stu- 
dents practice blocking, falling, throw- 
ing, kicking, and sparring. The session 
ends with a minute of meditation. 

Owner Richard Chun encourages par- 
ents to sign up with children for hour-long 
classes on Saturday at 1 1 a.m. or noon. Ob- 
viously, parents will be paired off with oth- 
er adults, but Chun believes the experience 
of taking the class together can benefit 
both parties. "The children feel more se- 
cure with their parents in the class," he 
says, "and the parent has an opportunity to 
watch his child learn to move." 

The first three or four lessons are semi- 
private, then students are placed in co-ed 
groups of ten to fifteen. The fee varies 
based on how many classes you take. For 
example, two to four classes a week for 
one month cost $75 to $120; there is also 
a $25 registration fee. (Richard Chun's 
Karate Tae Kwon Do Center, 163 East 
86th Street; 722-2200.) 



AHOY, MATEY 1 . CHILDREN TWELVE AND UP 

can join their parents in adult classes at 
the Offshore Sailing School, where 
they'll learn to sail aboard a sleek, 27- 
foot racing sloop. The Soling. During the 
three-day course, learn about tacking, 
jibing, heading up and falling off, and 
trimming the sail. Students will also 
learn what a "Cunningham" is and why 
they might want to know. 

Two hours a day are spent in a class- 
room, five on the water, the $450 (per stu- 
dent) fee also entitles you to an addition- 
al twelve hours of sailing time, with four 
people to a boat. The spring sessions be- 
gin in April. Call for information if you 
want to catch up with the school in Flori- 
da or the Caribbean this winter. (The Off- 
shore Sailing School is located on City 
Island, at 459 City Island Avenue; 885- 
3200 or 1-800-221-4326.) 

SOCIALIZING 



SINGLE PARENTS HAVE SPECIAL 
needs: They want to spend at 
least some of their free time 
meeting new people but don't 
want their children to feel 
cheated or left behind in the 
process. For many people, organizations 
Hke Kindred Spirits come to the rescue. 

Throughout the year, Kindred Spirits 
can provide a datebook's worth of events: 
ice-skating parties, crafts and candy- 
making classes, and ski trips. Whether 
you're simply looking for some fun plans 
for the day or trying to meet other single- 
parent families to pal around with, Kin- 
dred Spirits may be just the ticket. 

Most events cost about $7 to $25 per 
family; a $50 annual membership entitles 
you to discounts. Call or write for a bro- 
chure (Kindred Spirits at the 92nd Street 
Y, 1395 Lexington Avenue, New York,

Amazing Case 

Famed English jeweler Theo Fennell 
(the son of an army officer) spent his 
childhood traveling around the world, 
so it was not surprising when he be- 
gan crafting luggage. What is surpris- 
ing is that his luggage is two to three 




inches long and made of sterling 
silver and 18 K gold. Fennell makes 
Victorian carpetbags and valises, 
twenties hatboxes and steamer trunks, 
and contemporary guitar cases and 
duffel bags. Tiny triumphs, all the 
pieces open, and the woven-silver pic- 
nic basket is outfitted with flatware, 
plates, coolers, and a thermos. These 
works are unequaled for mechanical 
intricacy, not to mention beauty (from 
$600 for a collar box to $2,500 for a 
steamer trunk).

Best Bites 

On November 24, let's do less — let's take out. This Thanksgiving dinner for nine to 
twelve people ($125 for the works, imagine!) can be picked up Thanksgiving morn- 
ing at Savories, whose menu is based on the one at Publick House, in Sturbridge, 
Massachusetts (folks reserve months ahead for the meal). First, a milky clam chow- 
der, then a nineteen-pound turkey; apple-bread stuffing; three vegetables; cranber- 
ry sauce; giblet gravy; a big breadbasket; a cranberry bread pudding; and pumpkin 
pie. (Forty-eight hours' notice is required.) Some cooks like to work — who doesn't 
love a house warmed with smells of roasting meat? Still, there's Neuman & 
BogdonofTs marvelous carrot-parsnip soup ($4.50 a pint), their fruit-filled acorn 
squash ($6 a pound), and blanched green beans ($9 a pound) with lemon butter 
and almonds. N & B's corn bread ($4 a loaf) is good with thick giblet gravy 
($6.50 a pint). Serve Indiana Market's spectacular turban squash filled with 
polenta and Gorgonzola ($16) with game. Potato mash with scallion ($6 a 
pound) reheats in a double boiler, and corn-fritter batter ($7 a quart) makes 
crusty cakes. A gelatin 
mold of apricot, quince, 
and cranberry ($24) is 
like the one your grand- 
ma made. Petak's, open 
Thanksgiving Day, has 
rich country gravy ($9 a 
quart) and buttermilk 
biscuits ($1 each) to go 
with the gravy. Plus, Pe- 
tak's pears poached in 
red wine ($3.50 each). 
Please, take the credit —

don't take chances with. 




Your family is at the top of that list. 
And when it comes to choosing your 
family's health insurance company, 
you aren't about to settle for second best. 

Only one health care card covers more than 
10.8 million New York State residents. 
Many of them since the day they were born. 

Only one returns the highest percentage of 
premium dollars in benefits paid to its insureds. 

Only one is recognized at nearly 6,000 hospitals 
nationwide. And a growing list of hospitals abroad. 

Only one has over 50 years experience 
attending exclusively to health care coverage needs 

in New York State. 

And only one provides health care protection 
to any and all individuals-regardless of age 

or medical history. 

Only one company can be the best. 

And when it comes to health care, 
you deserve that one.

OUR TENNIS COURTS 
ARE OPEN ALL NIGHT, SO 
YOU CAN PLAY ALL DAY 



At Club Med, with distractions like windsurfing, wa- 
terskiing, scuba diving and sailing, you may find it hard 
to keep your eye on the ball all day long. 

That's why all of our villages have tennis courts 
lit after sunset. So if you're busy during the day, you can 
always concentrate on your game at night. 

But for those tennis enthusiasts who can't keep their 
eyes off the ball, we have three tennis-intensive villages 
designed especially for you. 

There's Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Sonora Bay 
in Mexico. And the Sandpiper in Florida. Between them, 
there are 68 tennis courts for your daily enjoyment, 

Activities vary by village. © 1988 Club Med Sales. Inc . 40 West 57lh Street. New Yctk, NY 10019. 



and 31 lit at night so your evenings are just as active. 

Need a few pointers? Our international staff of pro- 
fessional instructors holds group lessons for players 
at all levels, matches you against players of equal ability 
and holds clinics with videotape playback. 

While you're planning this vacation, consider taking 
it during one of our week-long tennis tournaments. If 
you win, we'll take you (and a guest) to Club Med Bali.

daptation is the key to the survival of the fittest. So when winter blows 
into town, many New Yorkers who exercise outdoors seek refuge in 
the health clubs and gyms. There they shift their efforts to the latest 
indoor techniques, which now include cross-training, circuit training, and 
personalized one-on-one sessions. 

Others simply migrate — leaving the city in search of snowy mountain 
trails. This year, they'll find that ski resorts across the U.S. and Canada 
have developed activities to invigorate skiers and non-skiers alike. Heli- 
skiing and snowboarding are just two new ways to make tracks, and base 
lodges have become even more luxurious places to kick off your boots. 

With their blend of Old World charm and modern technology, the ski 
regions of Quebec are some of the most appealing in the East. From the 
fieldstone farmhouses in the villages to the international accents of 
Quebec City itself, the entire province is attracting skiers from south of the 
border. And a favorable rate of exchange lets American visitors stretch 
their dollars farther on lift tickets, lodging, and other purchases. 

Reaching heights of a more personal nature is what a spa vacation is all 
about. Whether taking the thermal waters of Montecatini in Italy or going 
for the burn in an exercise class at Florida's Safety Harbor, spa guests 
retreat to a self-contained world of beauty, fitness, and health programs 
amid an atmosphere of total relaxation. 

That soothing feeling can be rekindled at home: Easy to prepare 
and made with healthful, readily available ingredients, 
hearty bowls of soup will nourish body 
and soul. Add these to your 
recipe for wintertime 
fitness. 



SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION 




With the onset of the colder months, 
New Yorkers are looking for indoor 
exercise programs that are efficient 
as well as enjoyable. Bodybuilding 
and high- and low-impact aerobics are just 
some of the exercise options popular in the 
health clubs and exercise studios in recent 
seasons. But the emphasis this year is on 
overall fitness. Cross-training, circuit training, 
and one-on-one programs are three methods 
of achieving this — and New York City's legion 
of fitness experts will show you how. 

Triathletes are the original cross-trainers, 
competing in running, cycling, and 
swimming — aerobic activities that draw on 
many different muscle groups. "In the field, 



cross-training is preparing for different 
events. In the gym, it's training for different 
objectives," says Mike Motta, co-owner of 
Plus One Fitness Center in downtown 
Manhattan. 

Fitness experts recommend cross-training 
as a way of achieving a more balanced and 
thorough workout, but there are two distinct 
approaches: In the first, total aerobic fitness 
is the objective, and (as in the triathlon) 
several aerobic activities are performed to 
work different muscle groups. 

The second approach breaks down each 
triathlon activity into its components — 
strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, and 
coordination — in order to achieve several 



specific fitness objectives. Both approaches to 
cross-training offer a safer and more pro- 
ductive workout than simply concentrating on 
a single activity. 

Radu Teodorescu, a former physical- 
education teacher from Rumania who now 
owns Radu's on West 57th Street, agrees with 
most trainers that the components of tri- 
athlon activities are all equally important 
measures of fitness. "Exercise is moving away 
from the north and south poles of aerobics 
and weight training, " he says. 

"Cross-training plus" is what Radu calls his 
classes, which incorporate track-and-field 
techniques of running and jumping as well as 
bench work. And he believes strongly that 
what is learned in the gym or studio should 
also provide motivation for participation in a 
weekend sport such as tennis, cross-country 
skiing, or running in the park. "Life is not a 
classroom," says Radu. "It's a performance!" 

Making the Circuit 

Another balanced fitness program that's 
coming of age is circuit training, which burns 
calories and makes for an exciting, invig- 
orating workout. A circuit class combines 
aerobic and strength training as members 
work a circuit of ten to twelve exercise 
stations, interspersing strength-training with 
low-impact aerobics. (Low impact means that 
one foot always stays on the floor.) 

At Pollan-Austen Fitness Center, the class 
begins with a five-minute warm-up, followed 
by five minutes of low-impact aerobics. Then 
the circuit begins. A trainer demonstrates 
exercises and monitors participants as they 
move from station to station every 45 
seconds. 

Each station calls for a strength-training 
exercise such as abdominal crunches, squats 
with weights, or tricep dips. Every two 45- 
second stations are followed by such low- 
impact exercises as lunging, prancing, or 
marching in place. 

The routine progresses with 90 seconds of 
strength-training and 60 seconds of aerobic 
exercise until the circuit is completed twice. 
Then comes ten minutes of aerobics and five 
minutes of cool down. At most, there are 20 
to 24 people in a class and only one or two 
people at any station at the same time. 

Exercisers are reminded to warm up and 
stretch before beginning the circuit and to 
cool down afterward. Those just beginning a 
circuit class are advised to do fewer 
repetitions at strength-training stations, 
instead of using lighter weights. 

There are different theories about the best 
way to train with weights. "Most weight 
programs practice 'muscular favoritism' — 
they isolate specific muscles," says Paul

Hyworren of Body Basic. "My program works 
muscles as a complete system and eliminates 
muscular imbalances." 

Hyworren's system uses dumbbells 
exclusively and consists of ten different 
movements. After twelve private training 
sessions, his clients continue the regimen 
with the dumbbells at home. Hyworren says 
his program aids posture and helps eliminate 
back pain. "I have dancers who no longer 
have lower-back problems," he says. 

Many health clubs around town, such as 
the New York Health & Racquet Club and the

One on-One 

There comes a time in many a busy New 
Yorker's life when working with a personal 
trainer becomes a desirable alternative to 
working out on one's own or in a classroom. 
More and more exercise-conscious individuals 
are choosing a one-on-one approach. 

Joseph Barron, president of Definitions, a 
gym specializing in one-on-one fitness, says 
the reason is that, as people have become 
more physically fit, they have also become 
more sophisticated about fitness: "They know 
the world's best athletes all have coaches," 
he says. Personal training also discourages

excuse-making: There's the constant 
motivation of having an appointment to keep. 

"People are looking for help with the new 
technology," says Ed Trainor, fitness director 
at TSI Racquet & Fitness Clubs. Trainor says 
that over the past five years, he has seen a 75 
percent increase in private-training sessions 
atTSI's Manhattan clubs. The introduction of 
highly sophisticated equipment is part of the 
reason; the desire for better-balanced 
workouts is another. "A trainer helps get you 
through parts of the workout you may not be 
i that fond of," he says. 

"The human element is very important, 
working with someone you can trust," says 
Barry Blenis, manager of the uptown branch 
of Apple Health & Sports Club, which has 
what it calls a one-on-one "fusion" training 
center. There's also the assurance of an 
efficient use of time — doing an appropriate 
amount of exercise, working with a trainer to 
design a balanced workout, and being 
monitored by a professional. 

"Compete with yourself, not someone 
else," says Dr. Mark Pittman, director of 
sports medicine at the Hospital for Joint 
Diseases Orthopaedic Institute in Manhattan. 
It is crucial that each person train at his or her 
own rate. "A good trainer will make sure that 
happens," he says. 
For that reason, personal training sessions

alternative to working out

crowded classroom. 

may offer a higher degree of safety than 
group efforts, especially for those with back, 
neck, or orthopedic problems. Personal 
training is also advisable for people with a 
very specific objective. 

Most places specializing in one-on-one 
training work with clients at the studio or 
gym. Body by Jake and Tina is one of the few 
i operations that does 75 percent of its 
personal training outside the studio. Plus One 
will set up a temporary gym in someone's 
home, but conducts these sessions with only 
a limited number of clients. 

According to Definitions president Barron, 
clients choosing a personal trainer should 
look for one with certification from the 
American College of Sports Medicine or an 
exercise degree from one of the top schools in 
the area, such as Marymount or NYU. (The 
degree may be in exercise physiology, dance 
kinesiology, or body movement.) 

It's also essential that he or she be trained 
in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and

first-aid, and that the chemistry between 
client and trainer feel right. Barron looks for 
friendly, high-energy personalities and adds 
that it's generally a good idea for clients to 
change trainers every six months or so to 
keep fresh. 

Star Trainers 

"The only difference between training an 
actor and a real-estate broker or banker," 
says Fran Horneff, director of personal 
trainers at Body by Jake and Tina, "is that 
with a broker or banker, a credit does not roll 
at the end of the sessions. ' ' 

One of Horneff 's assignments for which 
a credit will roll was his training of actor 
Harrison Ford for the next Indiana Jones 
movie. The film was shot last spring and 
summer in Spain, London, Jordan, and 
Venice — and Horneff was there every step of 
the way. His job was to keep Ford in peak 
condition for the physically demanding scenes 
of the action-adventure film. 

Horneff was also called upon to train the 
film's director, Steven Spielberg, who needed 
maximum energy to make it through the 
strenuous shooting schedule. Days started at 
6:30 a m with a half-hour workout consisting 
of a combination of calisthenics and cardio- 
vascular work. 

Models also need to keep in shape for a 
living, and Definitions attracts its fair share. 
The gym's president, Joseph Barron, sees a 
significant difference in the attitude of models 
to physical appearance today, as opposed to 
five years ago. 

"The outlook is healthier. On the whole, 
they're more interested in being lean, rather 
than thin," he says. "They'd rather be in 
great shape, even though that may mean 
being bigger and stronger, than look 
anorectic." He says he finds models 
extremely focused and ambitious in their 
workouts, and especially attuned to posture. 

Chris Meade, co-owner of Plus One, cites 
three reasons actors choose to work out with 
a personal trainer: scheduling problems, the 
need for privacy, and a desire for an exercise 
program that's "as disciplined as they are." 

During the filming of Fatal Attraction, 
Glenn Close, a regular at Plus One, shed 
fifteen pounds to play the compulsive book 
editor. Over those months, Close increased 
her workout schedule from three to five days 
a week, and from an hour to an hour and a 
half each session. When the director decided 
to reshoot the ending several months later, 
Close returned to that schedule to recapture 
her character's maniacal energy. 

Arriving in New York in September to pre- 
pare for Waiting for Godot, Robin Williams 
wanted to improve his flexibility, says Chris 
Meade. So Plus One added a licensed 
massage therapist to his workouts. Says 
Meade of his celebrity clients, "In their heads, 
they're always preparing for a marathon." •

Co 




one are the days when skiers were 
IP™ content with a lift, a trail, and a cup 
J| of hot chocolate at the end of the 
>gm run. Over the past five years, resorts 
from Colorado to Quebec have pumped 
millions of dollars into luxury mountainside 
lodging, base villages, snowmaking, new 
skiing terrain, high-speed lifts, and more. 

A variety of skiing options, on and off the 
slopes, and apres-ski activities have 
broadened the possibilities for exciting winter 
getaways. This benefits not only skiers but 
also families, couples, and groups that 
happen to include non-skiers. They can enjoy 
the sleigh rides, shopping, snowmobiling, and 
other diversions while the powder hounds are 



on the mountain. Many of the ski resorts are 
now permitting snowboarding, an increasingly 
popular winter sport that involves riding a 
small surfboard down the slopes. 

While individual resorts have been 
upgrading their facilities, the ski industry has 
been attracting newcomers with an array of 
learn-to-ski packages. The Let's Go Skiing 
America! program runs from January 20 to 
February 17. It kicks off with national Free 
Learn-to-Ski Day, which includes lift ticket, 
lesson, and ski rental at any of 182 member 
resorts. Throughout the period, packages for 
beginners are available for a maximum of $ 15 
on weekdays and $25 on weekends. For more 
information, check with local ski shops. 



Cultural Tracks 

The European heritage of skiing has long 
been acknowledged at resorts in the United 
States in celebrations such as Stratton 
Mountain's Bavarian Festival. But American 
ski areas are also highlighting the local history 
and culture that make them distinct. 

The town of Aspen at the base of Aspen 
Mountain is marking its "Cultural Centennial" 
in 1989 with the 100th birthday of the newly 
restored Wheeler Opera House and Hotel 
Jerome. The historic, Victorian-style theater 
will be presenting a year-round program of 
music, dance, and drama. 

The entire town of Crested Butte, 
Colorado, is a Registered National Historic 
District, from the original marshal's office and 
jail to Kochevar's Saloon, where you'll find a 
revolver purportedly left behind by Butch 
Cassidy. Amid the glamour of Vail, the Vail Ski 
Museum displays equipment and ski memo- 
rabilia dating back to the origin of the sport. 

In Park City, Utah, luxurious bed-and- 
breakfasts surrounded by mining-town charm 
are just a chair-lift ride away from more than 
175 ski trails. Room 108 in the Imperial Hotel 
is reportedly the home of a friendly ghost. The 
trolley still runs along Main Street, and Schirf 's 
Brewery in town makes a local product worth 
sampling: Wasatch Ale. 

Skiers choosing Killington, now the largest 
expert-skiing complex in the East, can stay at 
the new Inn of the Six Mountains, a luxury 
resort in the tradition of New England's 
elegant grand hotels. 

SNOWC AT AND HELICOPTER SKIING 

At the center of all this local color lies the 
activity that is the real draw: the skiing. 
Resorts have been responding to the in- 
creased demand for grooming, which keeps 
ski trails in better shape longer. Trained 
mountain crews using modern machinery turn 
marginal snow conditions and unmanageable 
mogul fields into avenues of combed 
"corduroy snow" ideal for cruising. 

Those longing to step off the well-groomed 
runs into wilder terrain will find many resorts 
catering to skiers who want to experience 
ravines, chutes, and bowls not marked 
on the trail map. Adventurous outings, from 
guided tours of nearby out-of-bounds terrain 
to helicopter skiing, will take skiers to 
exclusive mountain locations where they 
won't cross another set of tracks all day. 
Skiers venturing into unmarked areas on their 
own are placing their lives at risk, so it is wise 
to rely on local guides. 

One rigorous tour, Utah's Interconnect 
Adventure, starts at the top of the Park City 
resort and cuts across open bowls and 
majestic backcountry through the Solitude,

Snowcat tours take the hike out of the 
backcountry adventure by transporting skiers 
in comfort to secluded spots not serviced by 
stationary lifts. The snowcats — tractor-like 
vehicles with heated cabins that carry fifteen 
people — climb the mountainside, discharging 
skiers atop fresh powder runs. 

In Utah, Deer Valley's reputation for luxury 
extends to its snowcat-skiing tours, which set 
out daily for Flagstaff Mountain and include 
lunch in the Stein Eriksen Lodge. 

The Irwin Lodge, just eight miles from 
Colorado's Crested Butte ski area, recently 
expanded snowcat operations to 1,500 acres, 
making it one of the largest in North America. 
The lodge, complete with hot tubs, can be 
booked for a day, week, month, or longer. 

Great Northern Snow-Cat, a Canadian 
operation in British Columbia, takes skiers 
into the Selkirk Mountains and lodges its 
guests in a renovated turn-of-the-century 
hotel bordering Trout Lake. 

If reaching high into the glaciers or 
venturing into even more secluded terrain is 
your desire, helicopter skiing may be the 
answer. Whether in Quebec's Gasp^ 
Peninsula, Utah's Wasatch Mountains, 
Wyoming's Tetons, or the Canadian Rockies, 
a helicopter can be a skier's lift to exclusive, 
pristine mountain reaches. 

The only helicopter skiing in the East, Heli 
Chic-Choc in Quebec flies skiers high into the 
Gasp^sie mountains. Guests can stay over- 
night in the rustic comfort of a base lodge, 
Ste.-Octave-de-L'Avenier, just minutes from 
the 3,700-foot Mont Logan, or enjoy the 
amenities of motels ten minutes to the north 
in the village of Ste.-Anne-des-Monts. Heli 
10A 



Chic-Choc operates from late February 
through April. Given the demand, it's best to 
make reservations by December. 

H ut to-Hut and Ranch Tours 

Colorado's San Juan Mountains afford skiers 
another option: hut-to-hut nordic-skiing tours. 
From the San Juan Hut System (running from 
Ridgway to Telluride) to the Tenth Mountain 
trail network (Aspen to Vail), nordic (cross- 
country) and telemark (a combination of 
cross-country and alpine) skiers make their 
way from cabin to cabin. 

Skiers seeking a more comfortable base 
from which to plan their days of nordic skiing 
can choose from a growing number of 
authentic Western ranches that have cleaned 
up, classed up, and opened up to skiers. 

The C Lazy U is a 2,000-acre working 
ranch that has held a five-star rating from 
Mobil Travel Guide and a five-diamond rating 
from AAA for ten years. In winter, guests at 
the ranch, located 45 minutes from the 
Winter Park ski area in Colorado, can take 
I part in cross-country skiing, sleigh rides, and 
I ranch life, then relax in a sauna or whirlpool. 

Visitors landing at the private airstrip at 
Clarion's Colorado Ranch & Resort, 90 miles 
from Denver, will find snowcat tours, aero- 
bics, exercise facilities, and alpine skiing at 
nearby Winter Park. The newly renovated 
Devil's Thumb Ranch in Winter Park just 
reopened this season with more than 
30 miles of groomed and marked cross- 
country trails. 

Skiers don't have to stay in cabins or on 
ranches to be close to cross-country terrain. 
Alpine ski areas throughout the United States 
and Canada offer an abundance of cross- 
country trails. The Trapp Family Lodge, in 
Stowe, Vermont, has long operated a premier 
nordic-skiing center that interconnects with 
the cross-country trails of Mt. Mansfield. And 
the Quebec region has more than 1,000 miles 
of cross-country trails, many branching out 
from the base lodge at Mont Ste. Anne. 

Racing and Theme Weeks 

Back on the marked alpine trails, skiers can 
choose from learning and theme programs 
tailored to suit any need. Resorts have 
blended skiing with social, dining, and other 
recreational activities designed to create a 
pleasurable atmosphere with a distinctive 
theme. 

Recreational skiers, as well as those 
seeking more advanced improvement, have a 
host of racing-program packages to choose 
from. "All the technical changes in skiing, 
going back well over 50 years, have come 
from the racing community," observes Jeff 
Lokting of Mt. Bachelor, Oregon. Racing at 
Mt. Bachelor dates back to 1963, when the 



U.S. Ski Team held its first summer training 
there in preparation for the Winter Olympics. 

Skiing legend Billy Kidd directs race camps 
at Steamboat Springs in Colorado, while 
Olympians Phil and Steve Mahre coach ski 
clinics at Keystone Resort. 

Lathrop Ski & Race Camps are held 
nationwide (in the East, at resorts from 
Camelback, Pennsylvania, to Sugarloaf, 
Maine) and offer a blend of training and 
vacationing. Weekend and midweek Lathrop 
programs are available. After improving their 
racing skills, skiers can go on to compete in 
recreational races such as the elite Silver 
Series held at New York's Hunter Mountain. 

While the disciplined rigors of a racing 
week have their own appeal, winter athletes 
looking for a more social orientation can 




select from organized skiing vacations based 
on other themes. 

Mount Snow in Vermont has developed six 
theme weeks: Romancing the Snow is a 
five-day package with skiing activities geared 
for couples that includes lodging at a country 
inn. Senior-Ski is designed for skiers 50 
and older. For years, college students have 
been finding their brand of excitement at 
Killington during spring break. There are also 
theme weeks for children, families, and 
people who have never donned skis before. 

Female skiers may consider a women-only 
theme week. These programs are conducted 
by top women instructors and provide a 
relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Squaw 
Valley in California is credited with having 
helped pioneer the concept with a program 
called Woman's Way. Sugarloaf, in Maine, 
has a women's ski week (February 6-10) that 
includes four hours of daily instruction, video 
review of technique, ski-conditioning aero- 
bics, a spa day that features a facial and 
massage, and a fashion show. 

Ski resorts are also offering more facilities 
for children, with a focus on fitness and 
education. While parents are on the slopes, 
children have a chance to develop their minds 
and skills. Children's ski programs have been 
expanding, but seldom accept youngsters 
under five years old. 

Nurseries, such as the expanded 
HoneyBear Nursery at Bolton Valley, in 



Copyrights* 



Vermont, and the Peak 8 Children's Center at 
Breckenridge, in Colorado, provide educa- 
tional toys, creative play, and supervision by a 
state-certified staff. Alice's Wonderland at 
Vermont's Smugglers' Notch is equipped with 
giant Legos, huge fish tanks, books, crafts, a 
ski ramp, and a padded crawler room in its 
ten-room nursery. 

North of the Border: Quebec 

While American ski resorts continue to expand 
and improve, the Canadian province of 
Quebec offers skiers — particularly those on 
the East Coast — yet another option: 
abundant skiing amid European culture and 
French charm. 

The oldest city in North America, Quebec 
City still has cobblestone streets leading 
through the large gates in the old city's stone 
walls. The Chateau Frontenac, perched high 
above the St. Lawrence River, is a regal 
monument to the province's French ancestry. 
True to its heritage, the city boasts numerous 
exceptional French restaurants, including the 
renowned Cafe de la Paix. 

The French-Canadian joie de vivre that 
pervades Quebec reaches its height each 
February during the Winter Carnival, a Mardi 
Gras-style celebration complete with snow 
sculptures, street festivals, and parades. 

Less than a half-hour drive away is the 
Stoneham ski area, whose 1,250-foot vertical 
drop embraces a variety of trails sure to 
satisfy skiers of all levels. Just a fifteen- 
minute drive north of the city takes skiers to 
the Lac Beauport area, where they can set 
their skis to the trails of Mont St. Castin-les- 
Neiges and Le Relais. 

Skiers looking for long runs, steep 
descents, and trails groomed billiard-table 
smooth can travel the new four-lane 
expressway to Mont Ste. Anne. Its gondola 
takes skiers to the 2,050-foot summit 
overlooking the St. Lawrence River and the 
fie d'Orl^ans. 

Like most ski areas in Quebec, Mont Ste. 
Anne is fully equipped with computerized 
snowmaking and utilizes the latest grooming 
techniques. This results in skiing that starts in 
mid-November and continues into April. The 
selection of trails permits high-speed cruising 
as well as relaxed learning. Skiers who enjoy 
moguls will find scores of challenging bumps 
on such trails as La Super S. 

Located about an hour north of Montreal is 
the Quebec region's second major ski area, 
Mont Tremblant. Opening November 23, this 
is one of nineteen ski centers in a 30-mile 
radius in the Laurentian Valley. Day or night, 
visitors will find everything from beginners' 
trails to expert plunges. The Laurentians can 
easily be reached from Montreal on the 
Laurentian Autoroute.

Starting in mid-December, Mont 
Tremblant's 2,131 vertical feet will be 
serviced by a new high-speed lift, and millions 
of dollars are being spent to improve other 
services at the resort. A variety of lodgings 
is available, from deluxe hotel and condo- 
minium facilities at Auberge Cuttle's 
Tremblant Club on Lac Tremblant to secluded 
country inns nestled in the Laurentian Valley. 

The Laurentians' first ski resort, Gray 
Rocks, has earned an international 
reputation, thanks largely to its Snow Eagle 
Ski School (which has more than 60 full-time 
instructors). Ski magazine has rated Gray 
Rocks one of the top five resorts in North 
America, citing its health club, dining, 
lodging, and service. 

Tucked between Montreal and the Vermont 
border is a pristine countryside of challenging 
trails and friendly people: the Eastern 
Townships. Cozy inns dot the landscape, and 
a stay in a rural farmhouse here will make a 
skier a temporary member of a French- 
Canadian family. 

Ski areas in the townships have adopted 
modern snowmaking and grooming tech- 
niques without abandoning the rugged 
aspects that are part of their strong appeal. 
Visitors can sample these resorts by buying a 
five-day interchangeable lift ticket honored at 
all of them. 

Getting There 

Whether you cross the Canadian border, the 
American Rockies, or just the city limits, 
getting to the slopes has gotten easier. Most 
of the larger ski areas have reservation 
services that help with your vacation plans. 
Eight New England resorts — Saddleback, 
Sugarloaf, and Sunday River in Maine; 
Waterville Valley, New Hampshire; and Bolton 
Valley, Killington, Mount Snow, and 
Smugglers' Notch, in Vermont — have a linked 
computer system for one-call reservations 
that arranges airline, rental car, and lodging. 

Many resorts are working with major 
airlines to route direct flights from big cities 
into local airports near ski areas. Burlington 
Airport in Vermont provides skiers fast, easy 
access to ski areas in that state and 
elsewhere in New England. Airports in 
Montreal and Quebec City are convenient 
ports of entry to Quebec skiing regions, 
making it possible for skiers to leave New 
York City in the morning and be carving tracks 
in sparkling powder in the afternoon. 

The following directory of ski areas may 
help you plan your winter getaway. Lift-pass 
prices given are for one-day adult tickets on 
the most expensive day (usually on the 
weekend). Within each listing is a breakdown 
of the percentages of trails for skiers at 
various skill levels (B= Beginner; I = Inter-

For "bons vivants" on and off the slopes, 
Quebec has a style that is 100% irresistible. 

Half the fun of skiing is discovering Quebec's

Quebec's Eastern Townships is noted for its

When you ski in Quebec, it's 
easy to feel on top of the world 
Because you're treated to an ex 
hilarating sense of history come 
alive. 

Quebec's Eastern Townships 
Region, settled by French fore 
fathers and English United 
Empire Loyalists, is a marvellous 
mix of past and present. Pep- 
pered with gingerbread houses 
and farms, this is the kind of ski 
country where guests become 
part of the family. 

Quebec's Laurentian Mountains 

saw ski pioneers like "Jack Rab- 
bit" Johannsen blazing some of 
the first trails. From rambling 



Victorian manors to sophisticated 
resorts, you can relish the past 
through sleigh-rides and candle- 
light dinners, or dance up a storm 
in some of the hottest night 
haunts in the East. 

The "piece de resistance" is, of 
course, Quebec City itself, North 



America's only walled city. In less 
than 20 minutes, you're off the 
slopes and into the 17th century. 

Don't settle for winter as just 
another season. In the Province 
of Quebec, it's a sellout show and 
you've got the best seats in the 
house.

Hot Dishes to Take the Chill Off 




By Nao Hauser 



The rich aroma of simmering soup 
always warms a home on a wintery 
day. Count on soup to draw family 
into the kitchen, to satisfy dinner- 
party guests, or simply to provide a hearty 
welcome home from work. Soup is also the 
international "convenience food" — the 
satisfying meal that practically cooks itself. 

This selection of soups emphasizes 
cosmopolitan and contemporary tastes, 
ranging from the deep woodsiness of the wild 
mushrooms in Three-Mushroom Barley Soup 
to the spice bouquet of Brazilian Black Bean 
Soup. Beet and Beef Borscht proves that 
peasant food can be elegant. There's a 
seasonal flavor to the ingredients of Wild 



Turkey Soup, and a bow to tradition in the 
Chicken Soup. 

All the soups can be made, at least in part, 
well ahead of serving, and most will keep 
refrigerated for days or frozen for months. 
None requires more than a salad, bread, and 
a piece of fruit to make a meal. And all have 
been developed to produce servings low in 
fat. (Butter is called for in some recipes, but 
no-cholesterol margarine or vegetable oil may 
be substituted.) 

One step common to all the recipes — the 
slow wilting of onions or leeks with some 
liquid before other ingredients are added — 
both maximizes the flavor and helps minimize 
the fat. If fat is ordinarily used in this step, 



I it can be cut back or omitted; the liquid will 
suffice to prevent the onions from sticking. 
Don't allow the onions to brown, but don't try 
to rush this step, either. The sweetness they 
slowly release will flavor the dish and make 
extra salt and fat superfluous. 
Ready the rest of the ingredients while the 

! onions are cooking, and you'll find that 
preparation goes quickly. For convenience, 
the recipes call for the use of canned broth, 
which may be salty. People watching their 
sodium intake can either substitute water for 
part of the broth, use a low-sodium brand, or, 
best of all, make a supply of the salt-free 
Chicken Soup and keep it in the freezer for all 
broth needs. 

The bean soups require one extra step: 
presoaking the beans. Let them stand 
overnight with enough water to cover by two 
or three inches. If you're in a hurry, heat the 

I beans and water to a full boil (either 
conventionally or in a microwave oven), 
remove from heat, and let them stand 

' covered for one hour. Drain well and proceed 
with the recipe. 

Use any large pot to simmer these soups, 
and either a blender or food processor to 
puree ingredients. If your pot is thin, it's 
worth buying a heat diffuser — a simple metal 
plate that fits over a stove burner. This 
inexpensive device will prevent scorching. 

The easiest way to reheat is to microwave 
individual servings. If you are reheating on a 
stove, you may need to add water. Either way, 
you should add liquid when reheating the 
bean and barley soups, as these will thicken 
as they stand. To renew flavor when 
reheating, add some fresh lemon juice, 
vinegar, or Dijon-style mustard. 

Beet and Beef Borscht 

This ruddy soup is as thick as a stew. Serve it 
with pumpernickel or rye bread and call it a 
meal. Or, for a more elaborate presentation, 
float a few cooked potato pirogen in each 
bowl around a dollop of sour cream and 
sprinkle lightly with chopped dill. For a dinner 
party, an apt first course would be a saute of 
wild and domestic mushrooms or a spinach- 
and-mushroom salad with walnut-oil dressing. 

When shopping for the soup ingredients, 
choose beets with the greens attached, if 
possible, for guaranteed freshness. Chop the 
greens and add them with the beets for 
flavor, vitamin A, and iron. The port wine in 
this recipe enhances color and underscores 
the sweetness of the beets; be sure to use 
ruby rather than tawny port. 

This soup freezes well; add a little red wine 
or water when reheating to thin to desired 
I consistency and to prevent scorching.

1 tablespoon butter 
2 leeks (about 1 pound), 
trimmed, split lengthwise, 
cleaned, sliced 
4 cups beef broth 
1 beef skirt steak 
(about 1 pound) 
2 pounds beets, 
ends trimmed, pared 
3 medium carrots 
(about 8 ounces), 
sliced thin 
6 cloves garlic, chopped 
1 cup snipped fresh dill 
Vi teaspoon ground cardamom 
1 cup dry red wine 
2 cups ruby port wine 
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
V4 cup sour cream 
or nonfat yogurt 
Dill sprigs (garnish) 

Melt butter in large heavy pot. 
Add leeks and 1 cup broth. 
Cook covered over medium heat 
for 30 minutes. 

Preheat large heavy skillet 
(preferably cast iron, which 
holds heat well) over high heat 
until very hot, about 4 minutes. 
Cut steak in half to fit skillet; 
place in skillet with fat side 
down. Cook for about 2 minutes 
per side, turning once (meat is 
ready to turn when it moves 
easily in the pan), until browned 
on both sides. Remove to plate 
lined with paper towel. Let stand 
until cool enough to handle. 
Trim remaining fat. 

Add steak, beets, carrots, 
garlic, 1 cup dill, cardamom, 1 
cup red wine, and the remaining 
broth to leeks. (Beets should be 
submerged in liquid; halve or 
quarter them if necessary.) Heat 
to simmering; simmer covered 
until meat is completely tender, 
about 1 hour and 15 minutes. 
Remove meat and coarsely 
shred. Remove beets, let stand 
to cool slightly, and cut into 
matchsticks. Reserve meat and 
beets. 

Strain soup, reserving liquid 
and solids. Pur#e solids in 
blender with enough liquid to 
process. Return liquid to pot; 
stir in pur^e, port wine, vinegar, 
and lemon juice. Boil for 5 
minutes. Stir in reserved meat

and beets; simmer for 5 
minutes. To serve, spoon into 
bowls. Top with sour cream and 
dill sprigs. 

Makes 6 servings (about 2 
quarts). 




Chicken Soup 

This broth has an old-fashioned 
rich flavor, but the presentation 
can be as contemporary as you 
wish. To avoid the tastelessness 
of traditional soup chicken, the 
breast pieces are steamed and 
removed long before the rest of 
the soup is done. The dark meat 
simmers a long, long time; in 
fact, you can leave it on 
overnight if you put a heat 
diffuser over the stove burner to 
ensure a slow, steady simmer 
without risk of scorching. You 
can refrigerate the broth for up 
to three days or freeze it for up 
to six months. Use it instead of 
canned broth in other soup 
recipes for salt-free flavor. 

1 pound carrots, 
cut into 1-inch pieces 
1 pound onions, ends trimmed, 
unpeeled, sliced 
4 ribs celery with leaves, 
cut into 1-inch pieces 
1 small bunch dill, 
coarsely chopped, 
or 2 tablespoons dried dillweed 
4% quarts water 
4 chicken leg quarters 
(about 4 pounds), 
loose fat and sac at base 

of tailbone removed 
2 whole chicken breasts 
(2 to 2Vi pounds) 
1 large bunch parsley (4 ounces) 
Carrot tops, if available 

Place carrots, onions, celery, 
and dill in large (at least 8- 
quart) pot; add 6 cups of water. 
Heat to boiling. Arrange chicken 
over vegetables with breast 
pieces on top. Reduce heat and 
simmer covered until breast 
pieces are cooked through,

about 30 minutes. Remove 
breast pieces; let stand until 
cool enough to handle. Remove 
breast meat and discard skin; 
wrap and refrigerate until 
needed. Return bones from 
breast pieces to pot and add 
remaining water. 

Arrange parsley and carrot 
tops so that surface of water is 
covered (the greens will trap 
scum as it rises, making 
skimming unnecessary). Heat to 
simmering; simmer gently, 
uncovered, for 7 to 8 hours, or 
until liquid is reduced by about 
1 inch. 

Strain soup through sieve 
lined with white paper towel. 
Discard solids. Pour liquid into 
4- to 6-quart pot. Boil until 
reduced by one-fourth to one- 
third, depending on desired 
concentration of flavor. 
Refrigerate until chilled; skim 
fat from surface. Serve as 
suggested below. 

Makes 6 to 8 servings (about 2 
quarts). 

To serve as traditional chicken 
soup: Heat soup to boiling. Add 
3 thinly sliced carrots; simmer 
for 5 to 10 minutes, or until 
tender. Ladle into bowls; top 
with thinly sliced reserved 
breast meat and chopped Italian 
parsley. If desired, spoon 
cooked rice, kasha, or very thin 
egg noodles into bowls before 
adding soup. 

To serve Italian-style: Reserve 
chicken breast meat for other 
use. Cook 1 pound agnolotti, 
tortellini, or capelletti in boiling 
water until just tender; drain. 
Ladle hot soup into bowls; float 
pasta on top and sprinkle with 
grated Parmesan cheese. 

To serve Chinese-style: Season 
broth to taste with grated fresh 
ginger, soy sauce, dry sherry, 
and rice-wine vinegar. Garnish 
with thinly sliced green onion; 
the reserved chicken breast 
meat, thinly sliced, and/or diced 
tofu; and thinly sliced shiitake 
mushrooms sauteed in a small 
amount of sesame oil. 

Or serve with the reserved 
chicken, thinly sliced, and one 
of these garnishes: Sliced oyster 



mushrooms sauteed in butter; 
store-bought small potato 
pirogen; raw spinach sliced into 
thin strips; or grated Parmesan 
cheese. 

Three-Mushroom 
Barley Soup 

This hearty soup may be served 
as a main course or thinned 
with water and served in smaller 
portions as a first course. The 
sauteed shiitake give it an 
elegant look, and it can be a 
tasty prelude to roast poultry. 
Boneless turkey or chicken 
thighs can be substituted for the 
ham. In that case, follow the 
directions for browning given 
below, but heat a little butter or 
oil in the pan before adding the 
meat — and be careful not to 
overcook. The soup freezes well 
but gets very thick as the barley 
absorbs the liquid, so thin with 
water when reheating. 

8 ounces cooked ham, 
diced or cut into thin 1 %" strips 
V 2 cup white wine 
6 cups chicken broth 

2 medium onions 
(about 8 ounces), minced 

4 cloves garlic, minced 
12 ounces mushrooms 
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms 

3 medium carrots 
(about 8 ounces), sliced 

2 ribs celery, sliced 
1 cup uncooked barley 

1 cup snipped fresh parsley 

1 ounce dried 
porcini mushrooms 

2 cups skim milk 

2 cups water 

2 tablespoons butter 
Ground black pepper 
2 to 4 tablespoons dry sherry 

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 

or cider vinegar 
V? teaspoon ground allspice 
V* teaspoon ground nutmeg 
Chopped parsley (garnish) 

Preheat a large heavy pot over 
medium-high heat for 2 
minutes. Add ham; saute until 
lightly browned, about 5 
minutes. Remove ham and 
reserve. Pour in wine; cook, 
scraping bottom, until wine is 



reduced by half. Reduce heat to 
medium. Add 1 cup broth, the 
onions, and garlic; cook covered 
over medium heat for 30 
minutes. 

Separate stems and caps of 
all fresh mushrooms. Mince 
stems. Slice caps; reserve 
regular mushroom and shiitake 
caps separately. 

Place minced mushroom 
stems in pot with reserved ham. 
Add carrots, celery, barley, 1 
cup parsley, and dried 
mushrooms; pour in remaining 
broth, the milk, and water. Heat 
to simmering; reduce heat and 
simmer covered for 1 hour or 
until barley is tender. (Milk will 
bubble up when it comes to a 
simmer; wipe residue from side 
of pot.) 

Saute reserved shiitake caps 
in 1 tablespoon of butter in 
large skillet over medium-high 
heat until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. 
Remove, sprinkle with pepper, 
and reserve for garnish. Add 
remaining butter to skillet; saute 
regular mushroom caps until 
lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. 
Add regular mushrooms and 
any liquid in pan to soup with 
the sherry, vinegar, allspice, and 
nutmeg. Heat to simmering; 
simmer covered for 15 minutes. 
Stir well. Ladle into bowls. 
Garnish with reserved shiitake 
caps and chopped parsley. 

Makes 6 to 8 servings 
(3 quarts). 

Brazilian 
Black Bean Soup 

Smoked pork, spices, and 
garnishes of shredded kale and 
fresh oranges identify this soup 
as a version of the feijoada, 
Brazil's national dish. It's a good 
soup for a party, because it 
takes well to all kinds of 
garnishes: Set out bowls of 
shredded Muenster cheese and 
jicama and chopped red bell 
pepper, in addition to the kale 
and oranges. If you have access 
to a Caribbean grocery, also add 
a dish of toasted manioc flour, a 
traditional accompaniment. 
Then let guests help them- 
selves. 

You can cook the beans a day 



ahead and refrigerate them; 
then finish making the soup just 
before serving. The finished 
soup freezes quite well. 

1 pound black beans 
10 cardamom pods 
1 tablespoon cumin seed 
1 pound smoked boneless pork 
(smoked pork chops, 
Canadian bacon, ham, 
or a combination), diced 
6 cups water 
1 large Spanish onion (1 pound), 
chopped 
3 medium carrots 
(about 8 ounces), sliced 
3 ribs celery with leaves, sliced 
6 cloves garlic, minced 

3 California bay leaves 
(or 6 of a milder variety) 

1 cinnamon stick, 2 inches long 
1 teaspoon ground allspice 

1 teaspoon ground ginger 
V4 teaspoon ground cloves 

2 cups beef broth 

2 teaspoons ground cumin 

1 teaspoon ground coriander 
V* teaspoon chili powder 

1 pound boneless pork chops, 
fat trimmed, sliced thin 
V* cup red wine 

2 cups canned crushed tomatoes 

V* cup dark rum 
Juice of 2 limes 

4 to 6 cups cooked rice 

Shredded kale 
Sliced peeled oranges, 
cut into segments 

Place beans in medium-size 
bowl; add water to cover by 2 to 

3 inches. Let stand 8 hours or 
overnight; drain. 

Remove seeds from 
cardamom pods. Cook carda- 
mom and cumin seeds in 
large pot over medium heat, 
stirring often, until they smell 
toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 
smoked pork and increase heat 
to medium-high. Cook, stirring 
often, for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 
cups of water with the chopped 
onion; cover and cook over 
medium heat for 30 minutes. 

Add carrots, celery, garlic, 
bay leaves, cinnamon stick, 
allspice, ginger, cloves, beef 
broth, remaining 4 cups of 
water, and the drained beans. 



Copyrigl 



Heat to boiling. Reduce heat 
and simmer covered until beans 
are very soft, about 2 hours. 

Combine ground cumin, 
coriander, and chili powder on 
plate. Toss sliced pork in spices 
to coat evenly. Let stand for 5 
minutes. Preheat large heavy 
skillet over high heat for 4 
minutes. Add half of pork; cook 
until browned on both sides, 1 
to 2 minutes (don't overcook or 
meat will toughen); remove and 
reserve. Repeat with remaining 
pork. Pour wine into skillet; stir 
to scrape bits from pan. Pour 
wine over meat. 

Remove bay leaves and 
cinnamon stick from beans. 
Take out 4 cups of beans with 
slotted spoon; process in 
blender with the tomatoes, in 
two batches, until pureed. Stir 
puree into soup with the 
reserved pork, the rum, and 
lime juice. Heat to boiling; 
reduce heat and simmer for 5 
minutes. Ladle soup into large 
bowls; add rice to each. Sprinkle 
kale and oranges on top. 

Makes 8 to 10 servings (4 
quarts). 




Wild Turkey Soup 

This soup features turkey with 
wild rice and Wild Turkey 
bourbon — an all-American trio. 
The corn and whiskey give it a 
very rich, sweet taste despite 
the sparing allotment of cream. 
The broth can be made in 
advance and refrigerated for a 
few days, or frozen (with the 
turkey kept separate) for 
months. 

3 turkey drumsticks 
(about 2 pounds), 

skin removed

1 package (10 ounces) 
frozen cut corn, 
partially thawed 
1 package (10 ounces) 
frozen small peas, 
partially thawed 
V4 cup Wild Turkey 
bourbon whiskey 
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
'/« teaspoon ground nutmeg

magine a solid week of being pampered. 
Seven days of massages, manicures, and 
long soaks in the Jacuzzi, at a place 
where you can focus all your energy on 
yourself. Indulgent perhaps, but what a 
way to lift the winter blues and get in 
shape for spring. 

Such is a spa vacation — a chance to 
recharge and gain perspective. Still, many 
who are interested in visiting a spa have a 
more specific goal in mind: trimming off 
pounds. And where better to do that than 
in a stimulating environment, with all the 
guidance you'll need? 

The longtime image of the rich, overweight 
spa goer is passe": "About 40 percent of the 



people at our spa are men, many of whom are 
taking time in conjunction with business trips 
to de-stress," observes Joan Hudson, spa 
director at the Doral Saturnia in Florida. 

It's important to consider your reasons for 
going to a spa before you choose one. "Ask 
yourself what it is you hope to accomplish, 
and then find the best place for you to go," 
advises Mel Zuckerman, the founder of 
Canyon Ranch in Arizona. Don't make the 
mistake of assuming that your expectations 
are going to be met everywhere, he warns, 
because they won't be. 

Do you want a spa that's going to leave you 
looking fabulous? Or one where you'll end up 
feeling that way? Are you interested in 



Jazzercise, hydroaerobics, and other body- 
slimming activities? Or are stress-reducing 
exercises such as biofeedback, yoga, and 
meditation more important to you? Also, 
determine where you want to be. Are you set 
on a warm-weather vacation? A European 
excursion? Or a quick getaway near the city? 

Keep in mind that European spas are 
different than those in America. For one 
thing, they're more medically oriented. The 
thermal waters at these spas, which guests 
"take" both internally and externally, are 
reputed to alleviate everything from 
rheumatism to digestive difficulties. 

The pace is also distinct. "European spas 
are more laid-back, in the sense that they 
focus less on fitness," says the Doral 
Saturnia's Hudson. "They're for those who 
want to reflect and stop their world, whereas 
the American spa has a more active program 
to get rid of stress." 

Of course, there are leisurely American 
spas as well. With Back in Shape Traveling 
Spa Week (212-245-9131), which arranges 
week-long trips to the Caribbean during 
winter months, guests get to sample the local 
flavor in addition to partaking in more usual 
spa activities. 

"In St. Thomas, we do things like go on a 
sunset sail, snorkel at Sapphire Beach, take a 
ferry ride to St. John's national park, and dine 
on the island cuisine," says Marjorie Jaffe, 
who runs the trips through her New York 
City-based exercise studio. Facialists and 
masseuses from New York attend, and local 
masseuses and herbologists add their 
expertise. After morning exercise and beauty 
treatments, there's still time for optional 
activities. 

Mountain Spa Trek (212-517-6607) 
arranges traveling spa packages in Utah, 
Montana, and the Caribbean for those who 
like the great outdoors — but don't particularly 
relish roughing it. The day starts with t'ai chi 
and yoga classes. Participants then hike 
twelve to fifteen miles and, depending on the 
location, learn fly-fishing or windsurfing. 

In the evenings, hikers return to luxurious 
estates or villas where they relax in Jacuzzis, 
receive their daily massage, and dine on the 
healthful gourmet food prepared by Mountain 
Spa Trek's private chef. The trips last one 
week; most have no more than ten guests and 
cost $1,200, which includes everything 
except airfare. 

How should you prepare for a spa vacation? 
If weight loss is your goal, keep track of your 
diet in a written diary for a few weeks 
beforehand, to make it easier for the spa 
nutritionist to pinpoint any trouble spots. 
Secondly, be sure to exercise — if only 



moderately. A brisk walk each day will help 
you gear up to meet the challenge of a spa's 
three or more daily stretching, strengthening, 
and aerobics classes. 

Finally, consult the spa to find out what 
you'll need to pack. The one you choose may 
supply everything from workout wear to 
bedroom slippers, or may expect you to bring 
your own gear. Also, ask about the dress 
code. At some retreats, caftans and sweats 
are acceptable at dinner, while at others such 
attire is forbidden. One thing you're likely to 
need wherever you go is good footwear — 
shoes for walking, jogging, and aerobics. 

A typical day at a spa begins at about 
7:30 a.m. with an hour-long hike through 
the nearby mountains, along the beach, or 
just around the grounds. Then it's off to 
breakfast for juice, fruit, a bran muffin, and 
whatever else you're willing to work off. This 
is followed by a one-hour stretch class to 
warm up the muscles. 

Next comes aerobics, toning, or water 
exercise, guided by ever-watchful instructors. 
Then, after a juice or broth break, there is an 
individual beauty treatment such as a facial, 
herbal wrap, or loofah scrub. In the loofah 
scrub, a sponge is used with sea salt and 
water to exfoliate dead skin cells. An herbal 
wrap involves the swathing of the body in 
linens steamed in herbal solutions. 

You may wind up the morning with an 
invigorating dip into a plunge pool or by 
dousing yourself under a Swiss needle shower, 
in which multiple fluctuating jets of water hit 
your body from all sides. 

During the two-hour lunch break, you might 
just want to relax at poolside. Then begin the 
afternoon with another exercise class, 
followed by a soothing massage to work the 
kinks out: Swedish (deep muscle), Shiatsu 
(focusing on pressure points), or aroma- 
therapy (rubdown with scented oils). Another 
individualized beauty treatment may round 
out the day. 

An unusual vacation? Perhaps. But also a 
revitalizing one — and one that's gaining in 
popularity. "If spa vacations continue to be 
delivered with a great deal of integrity, they 
could be the significant destination choice in 
the '90s," observes Canyon Ranch's 
Zuckerman. 

Use the following directory to locate the 
spa that will best meet your needs. You'll find 
information on the length and cost of a typical 
session (all rates are subject to change), as 
well as on the facilities, programs, and 
services available. Further information, 
and reservations for many of the spas, may 
be obtained through Spa-Finders Travel 
Arrangements (212-475-1000).

Breakdown, Pedro Almodovar — the bad 
boy of post-Franco cinema — has made a 
hilarious and often touching gloss on 
Spanish romantic fatalism. Almodovar's 
subject is contemporary woman as victim 
and avenger, and his movie is both a 
farce and a fairy tale, complete with cra- 
zy coincidences and a pitcher of spiked 
gazpacho that becomes nothing less than 
a magic potion. What holds the whirring, 
satirical elements together is the con- 
stancy of men's betrayal of women — and 
women's victory over their grief. Bril- 
liantly funny and completely assured, the 
picture is a special triumph for a writer- 
director who earlier had seemed help- 
lessly in the grip of the kind of obsession- 
al material he's now parodying. 

The movie is a sensual and glittering 
celebration of women. In the titles se- 
quence, Almodovar quickly immerses us 
in a perfumy, super-feminine milieu — 
the cutout photographs of lips, flowers, 
and bejeweled hands gathered around 
the titles look like Vogue-magazine 
graphics rearranged by a Surrealist. The 
beauty-shop atmosphere is offered not as 
a put-down of vanity but as a celebration 
of vanity's strength. The women in this 
movie keep themselves up — primping is 
important to their morale. 

They need bolstering; they've been 
driven mad by men, most of them by one 
man, or, more precisely, one male 
voice — the guttural yet cultivated tones 
of Ivan (Fernando Guillen), a 50ish minor 
actor who can knock women dead merely 
by intoning the words "I love you" in a 
TV ad. Ivan, the epitome of suave Latin 
worthlessness, hardly appears in the 
movie, but his voice is everywhere, offer- 
ing romance, promise, satisfaction. This, 
Almodovar says, is what Spanish machis- 
mo has come to — testosterone concen- 
trated into pure illusion. Ivan does com- 
mercials and also voice-overs, and in the 
film's most erotic image, his lips lean to- 
ward a microphone as he growls a perfer- 
vid declaration. He gives good mike. 

His voice also turns up on the answer- 
ing machine of Pepa (Carmen Maura), 
the woman he has been living with for 
years. He ends the affair, demanding that 
she pack his bag. Desolated, Pepa leaves 
messages for him all over Madrid and 
awaits his call. Almodovar has said that 



the movie originated as an attempt to 
adapt lean Cocteau's monologue drama, 
The Human Voice, in which a woman re- 
jected by her lover begs, pleads, hangs 
on — all on the telephone. In this revi- 
sionist, slapstick version, the heroine, en- 
raged, pitches the telephone and then the 
answering machine out the window and 
charges all over town in pursuit of her 
man. The telephone is Ivan's province, 
confrontation Pepa's. By the end of the 
movie, she doesn't even want the lout 
back; she merely wants to say good-bye 
to his face, so she won't be dominated by 
his bodiless, throaty crooning. 

The great Carmen Maura has ap- 
peared in most of Almodovar's films; 
those who have never seen her before are 
in for a treat. Maura has large brown eyes 
topped by dark eyebrows, and a long face 
that can look drawn, even tragic, when it 
falls; her mouth alternates between a 
flickering disgust and a smile as suddenly 
radiant as Jeanne Moreau's. In this movie 
she's a very hot number, agitated, impa- 
tient, scrambling from place to place in 
high heels and tight tube skirt, her rump 
and high breasts thrust out like the masts 
and spars of some perilously balanced 
ship. In full flight, she's amazing. A beau- 
tiful woman who looks haggard from liv- 
ing hard, she's funny in an immediately 



sexual way that no American or English 
actress could approach. The sexual tem- 
perament dominates, right on the sur- 
face, determining her moods, her an- 
ger — everything. 

"I'm sick of being good," Pepa says as 
she dumps sleeping pills into her home- 
made gazpacho, preparing a trap for Iv- 
an. Later, lighting a cigarette, she sets her 
bed aflame by accident. Rapturous harp 
glissandos from Rimsky-Korsakov ap- 
pear on the soundtrack; Pepa, staring 
into the flames, deeply thrilled, dreams 
of a fiery apocalypse. Then she snaps out 
of it, throws the cigarette into the fire, 
and goes for the hose. Almodovar has 
made a comic spectacle out of this tem- 
pestuous woman, but it's essential to the 
balance of the movie that Pepa, however 
wild, is also entirely sane, a woman who 
knows that her lover is a bum and that 
her adoration of him is ridiculous. She's 
a three-dimensional character who 
grounds the more bizarre comic mo- 
ments in common sense — perhaps the 
most lovable movie heroine in years. 

In the beginning of Women, Almodo- 
var jumps brazenly from one thing to an- 
other, and the movie has a jagged, unset- 
tled rhythm, with sudden shifts of 
location and startling close-ups. Then he 
settles into Pepa's brightly lit stage-set

apartment, with its obviously fake "view" 
of Madrid beyond the terrace. As people 
of all shapes and sizes begin to show up, 
there's a touch of thirties- Hollywood 
comedy in the frantic pace and heaped 
absurdities. But the exoticism of the 
women in the movie is something we've 
never seen before. Almodovar shows an 
affection for them that goes way beyond 
the ritual "respect" given women in our 
own starchy post-feminist culture. He 
doesn't take the proper "line"; he merely 
loves women. 

First there's Pepa's pal Candela (Maria 
Barranco), very tall yet swanlike and deli- 
cate, with a long neck, a dolorous smile, 
and earrings in the form of tiny espresso- 
makers that dangle and shake as she un- 
folds her tale of woe. The weepy Candela 
shacked up with a Shiite terrorist who 
used her apartment as a meeting place 
for his co-conspirators, and now she's 
afraid she'll be arrested as an accessory. 
A long-stalked passionflower trembling 
in the wind— the slightest frown makes 
the tears flow — Candela falls for men the 
way a child settles into a down quilt. 

She is matched in height by the ex- 
traordinary Marisa (Rossy de Palma), 
who shows up with Ivan's twenty-year- 
old son Carlos (Antonio Banderas) in 
tow. Haughty-looking in red, with jet- 
black hair, Marisa has a nose that comes 
out of her forehead and proceeds alarm- 
ingly down the entire length of her face 
(Picasso, it turns out, did not exaggerate 
the angularity of Spanish women). And 
yet this hatchet-faced harpy is sensual, 
even beautiful — all the women are. How- 
ever formidable, they need men, which 
makes them both funny and vulnerable. 
Marisa, when she first appears, is furi- 
ously possessive of Carlos, a sweet, dark- 
ly handsome boy who drifts into a clinch 
with any woman around (he's truly his fa- 
ther's son). But then Marisa, swallowing 
some of the drugged gazpacho, falls 
asleep and has a happy erotic dream, 
capped by her first orgasm. When she 
awakes, transformed by the potion, she's 
a nicer person. Sex in Almodovar's mov- 
ies is always a mess, but it's both dream 
and reality, all-encompassing, inescap- 
able. And like many movie directors be- 
fore him, Almodovar sees women as clos- 
er to their emotions than men, more 
exposed, willing to be undignified in the 
pursuit of love. 

Almodovar, 37, has worked as a rock 
singer, cartoonist, novelist, and pornog- 
rapher, and he draws on all these skills 
when he makes movies. He also draws on 
the comic advantages of gay sensibility — 
life as passion, as color, as outrage and 
scandal, and as fun. In his best moments, 
he raises the absurdity of passion to gid- 
dy comedy, at the same time, he's proba- 
bly unique among satirists in working 
with a rich emotional and sensuous pal- 
ette. But there's a danger inherent in

such a risk-taking, unstable tempera- 
ment — that it can turn overripe and just 
plain silly, collapsing into kitsch. 

The first of Almod6var's movies shown 
here, What Have I Done to Deserve This? 
(1985), joined social protest to prankish, 
vulgar jokes. Carmen Maura, playing the 
ultimate put-upon housewife, managed a 
nightmarish family, popping NoDoz all 
day long to avoid falling into a sink of 
dirty dishes. An exasperated victim of 
male vanity and incompetence, she 
couldn't even get decently laid. The com- 
edy of squalor, wild but utterly deadpan, 
was leavened by magical happenings and 
casual dirty jokes. It was a cruddy-look- 
ing, poorly lit movie, but it was tightly or- 
ganized and made wonderful sense. 

In Matador (1986), which followed, the 
cinematography had turned sumptuous 
and beautiful; Almodovar had mastered 
more than enough technique to pull off a 
stunning erotic fantasia near the begin- 
ning of the movie, in which a beautiful, 
predatory woman, undraping herself 
with a queenly flourish, climbed atop a 
naked man she had picked up on the 
street and stuck a jeweled hairpin into 
his back at the moment of orgasm. But 
Matador never lived up to its thrilling 
early promise. The movie was mostly 
about the murderess and a death-ob- 
sessed ex-matador, circling each other 
until they fell into a final, fatal embrace, 
and it was elaborately stupid and leaden 
in the way of decades of terrible art 
films — only the willfully naive thought it 
funny. And Law of Desire (1986), the next 
movie, was also funny only in its opening 
scenes, which offered a fast, satirical look 
at the overheated life of a director of 
swank porno movies. Explicitly homo- 
erotic, Law of Desire quickly gave way to 
turgid romantic obsession; Almod6var 
piled up a junk heap of lurid excess, in- 
cluding incest, transsexualism, suicide, 
and a baffling flaming finale. If not for 
the richness of the color and the acting of 
Carmen Maura, who brought three or 
four scenes garishly to life, the movie 
would have been a pretentious dud. 

Matador began with a scene of a man 
masturbating while watching violent 
movie images; Law of Desire began with 
a man masturbating while acting in a 
porno movie. For Almod6var, imagina- 
tion — and, obviously, all film imagery — 
is erotic. Maybe he had to make these 
two purplish, obsessional films to work 
his way to the new, light, farcical style of 
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Break- 
down. In any case, he's now insolently on 
top of his material. The pace of the movie 
derives from Pepa's sleepless impatience, 
but it reflects the director's new confi- 
dence as well. Madness and magic and 
romantic obsession all come together in 
a way that is almost — though it seems 
strange to use the word about Almod6- 
var — classical. m

TARGET 

PRACTICE 

. .Courbet's politics of resistance got him in trouble with the Sa- 
lon. For that, even more than for his painting, he is still admired. . ." 



to get very far with "Courbet Recon- 
sidered," at the Brooklyn Museum, it 
helps to be a determined Francophile, to 
think there is nothing more crucial than 
the argument between Parisian academi- 
cians and realists nearly 150 years ago, 
and to believe that it was scandalous, 
back before electricity, photography, and 
indoor plumbing, for a painter to paint 
what he saw rather than what he 
imagined. 

If those issues seem capable 
of fluttering only a graduate 
student's pulse, you begin to 
grasp the difficulties with this 
exhibition. Gustave Courbet 
was not a bad painter, but he 
has become a Great Name in a 
different sort of academy — 
twentieth-century modern- 
ism — and it has become in- 
creasingly difficult to see his 
work outside its historical role. 

He won over the modernists 
because he was a determined 
curmudgeon (and supporter of 
the Communards) who refused 
to cooperate with the elevated 
expectations of /tau/e-bourgeois 
artists and patrons. He liked to 
play the naughty boy who over- 
turned the water glasses at a 
fancy dinner party. His target — the Sa- 
lon — was the more worthy because it 
seemed so unassailable. Out of it came 
pure froth like The Birth of Venus (Alex- 
andre Cabanel's spun-sugar nude attend- 
ed by cupids and licked by surf), repre- 
senting the highest tastes of the 
nineteenth century and the lowest kitsch 
to the twentieth. 

By contrast, Courbet's occasionally 
misshapen nudes and awkward brush- 
work have always given his fans trouble 
when they had to explain his genius. He 
could rise to excellence, as he did in the 
four svelte and gorgeous portraits of 
Whistler's mistress Jo — womanhood 
aflame — brought together in this exhibi- 
tion. But he was just as often capable of 
creating a clunker like the female figure 
paddling a kind of kayak in Woman in a 
Podoscaphe: Her feet resemble paws, and 
the sea over which she travels hangs 
behind her like a curtain. At least this 
exhibition, the first in the United States 
in 30 years, presents him all of a piece, 



more or less — minus most of the biggest, 
best-known paintings, including A Burial 
at Ornans and The Painter's Studio. 
which had to stay home. Those omissions 
are offset by the inclusion of two of his 
most notoriously titillating canvases: The 
Sleepers, two fleshy, recumbent women 
wrapped in each other's arms, one of the 
inescapable monuments of the Petit Pa- 
lais; and the brutally frank The Origin 




UPON REFLECTION: Portrait of Jo, the Beautiful Irish Girl. 



of the World, a bird's-eye view of a wom- 
an's genitalia. Both paintings were com- 
missioned by a Turkish diplomat, and 
they confirm that Courbet could produce 
a little froth himself when asked. 

Modernist doctrine assigned Courbet 
such a seminal role — the realist paving 
the way for Manet, Cezanne, and the 
modernists — that his faults can be 
addressed only now that the us-against- 
them mentality is old news. It finally 
becomes possible to see that Courbet was 
also seduced by beautiful painting, but 
he resisted, and from that argument with- 
in himself come the broad outlines of his 
style: the frequent ugliness and the 
infrequent grace, the intense physical in- 
timacy with his subjects, the bursts of 
glacial remoteness and impacted symbol- 
ism, the grandeur that both enraptured 
him and led to a speedy retreat back to 
grubby reality. 

In his own time, Courbet was the 
equivalent of a modern-day Marxist 
iconoclast, getting good mileage out of 



his opposition to the Establishment. Cu- 
rator Sarah Faunce has done a fine job of 
relating Courbet's prickly preference for 
ordinary life to his support of radical 
causes. But Faunce, like many commen- 
tators now, can't understand the accusa- 
tion — made often during Courbet's life — 
that he cherished ugliness. (No one in the 
twentieth century professes to know 
much about beauty, much less its oppo- 
site.) Yet everyone in Courbet's 
time knew what beauty was, 
and he — in setting himself 
against the tastes of his time — 
cultivated ugliness as an ideo- 
logical weapon. It is impossible 
otherwise to reconcile the ele- 
gant, Ingres-like sensuality of 
The Sleepers with the clownish- 
ness of Woman in a Podos- 
caphe, unless you ascribe the 
difference to incompetence. 

The old modernist line about 
Courbet no longer speaks to the 
point. Though he certainly 
painted the real (that is, not 
imaginary) forests, cows, and 
fields of his rural homeland, he 
was very much a mid-nine- 
teenth-century painter in the 
way he did it. Like the rest of 
the artists of his day, he be- 
lieved in creating fictions based in the 
painter's studio, even if the fictions took 
place outdoors. Comparing him to Con- 
stable, you realize how little light and air 
manage to filter into Courbet's scenery. 
It was not his realism that got him in 
trouble with the Salon, since genre 
scenes had been an accepted if minor art 
form for several centuries. It was his 
politics of resistance. For that, even more 
than for his painting, he is still admired.

of decaying modernism to an evocative 
purpose. 

Born in Massachusetts, Mentor now 
lives part of the year in Iowa, a place that 
has no patience with pretentiousness. 
Lodged in transparent pockets of his 
work is seed corn, which is both visceral- 
ly beautiful and suggestive of a life lived 
among elemental cycles. Here and there 
are stripes borrowed from the bar codes 
you see on supermarket packages. The 
juxtaposition of real seed and abstract 
pricing system is only the beginning of 
Mentor's intelligence, which is pragmat- 
ic-American in its willingness to use any- 
thing that serves his aims. There is a set 
of cones or vectors painted on steel 
plates, a jarring contrast between cold re- 
ality and the magical, ephemeral, mathe- 
matical ordering of nature. Whatever the 
meaning that can be coaxed from Men- 
tor's art, its impact comes from the unex- 
pected warmth and visual mystery of the 
way it looks. Mentor has a talent that, I 
suspect, is even bigger than he has so far 
shown us. 

Jasper (ohns is the archetype of the art- 
ist caught between seeing and knowing. 
Holt Quentel is certainly aware of him, 
but she resists his optimism. On banners 
made of raw canvas and mesh, she pre- 
sents a single number 3 (previous shows 
included other numbers and letters). 
Numbers, as Johns knew, name nothing 
but themselves. Like Mentor, however, 
Quentel is not satisfied merely with nam- 
ing; she reduces these frayed, worn, erod- 
ed tarps to battered objects that bear a 
strange unclassifiable nostalgia. Since her 
last show she has developed some ele- 
gance that may cause her trouble. (Mentor 
Laurie Rubin Gallery; closed. Quentel: 
Stux Gallery; through November 26.) 

THE QUIET OF "EDEN" — AN INSTALLA- 

tion by Ann Preston at Barbara Toll Fine 
Arts — masks unsettling sentiments and a 
mood of throttled romanticism. Preston, 
a sculptor living in California, has fiddled 
around with the familiar symbolism of 
the natal Garden. There is something 
passionate and slightly ominous in the 
smooth-featured elegance of her cast of 
characters: the snake, a pair of "palm 
trees" with leaves that are curling 
tongues, a pair of rudimentary flowers. 
The centerpiece is a startling fountain: 
two smooth-limbed young boys bent 
double, pouring water into their mouths 
and emitting it out the other end of the 
alimentary canal. You are forced to con- 
sider the contradictions caused by the 
sexual innocence of this nevertheless 
shocking image. Among the many layers 
of this provoking and provocative show is 
a suggestion that the uproar in the Gar- 
den was an inevitable outcome of the 
prodding Id, against which innocence is 
small protection. (146 Greene Street; 
through November 26.)

UNMODIFIED RAPTURE: Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic — nothing seems impossible. 



the New York Philharmonic is in the 
midst of a busy month, possibly even a 
traumatic one. No sooner does laureate 
conductor Leonard Bernstein plunge 
into the final frenzied round of his seven- 
tieth-birthday celebrations than Zubin 
Mehta announces his departure as the 
orchestra's music director effective in 
1991, when his current contract expires. 
The date seems distant, but the search for 
a successor has already begun. 

Mehta's resignation caught most of the 
music community by surprise. When the 
news broke, I hurried over to Avery Fish- 
er Hall to attend the Philharmonic's reg- 
ularly scheduled concert that evening. 
Even though Mehta is not my favorite 
conductor and there was nothing unusu- 
al about the program — Mozart's Sym- 
phony No. 34, the Beethoven Pastoral, 
and Rachmaninoff's Fourth Piano Con- 
certo with Joaquin Achucarro — I 
thought it would surely be an occasion: 
warm signs of affection for the departing 
maestro from loyal subscribers, the musi- 
cians outdoing themselves for their lead- 
er of the past ten years, and Mehta him- 
self all fired up to give his best. 

But no — it was business as usual. The 
audience responded politely and without 
enthusiasm. The playing was competent 
but lacking in spirit and character. 
Mehta seemed preoccupied as he presid- 
ed over routine, perfunctory interpreta- 
tions. I had forgotten why so many New 
Yorkers who take music seriously 
stopped attending Mehta concerts long 
ago, but this was a depressing reminder. 



Yes, I know. Picking on the Philhar- 
monic's music director has been a favor- 
ite blood sport for decades — just ask 
Bernstein — but in Mehta's case, even that 
game has grown stale. When the conduc- 
tor took over the orchestra, in 1978, he 
had to put up with his share of heavy crit- 
icism, but the attacks have abated in re- 
cent years. Mehta's Philharmonic, at 
least when the music director stands be- 
fore it, has become so dull that critics 
have lost interest and no one seems to 
care anymore. Future historians will 
have precious little to write about when 
they come to chronicle this uneventful 
regime, one that has had virtually no pos- 
itive influence on what the orchestra pro- 
grams, how the music is played, or even 
how we listen to it. Unlike his colorful 
and often beleaguered predecessors — 
Toscanini, Rodzinski, Mitropoulos, Bern- 
stein, and Boulez — Mehta has not been 
controversial, just boring. 

The gray mood is about to lift, at least 
temporarily, now that Bernstein has re- 
claimed the Philharmonic podium for the 
rest of November. Earlier this month, he 
was at Carnegie Hall to lead four con- 
certs with the Vienna Philharmonic, and, 
predictably, joy reigned unrestrained. At 
this stage in his career, the conductor 
could probably coax a characteristically 
Bernsteinian performance from a high- 
school band. With the Vienna orchestra, 
definitely a postgraduate group of virtuo- 
sos, his rapport is complete, and nothing 
seems impossible or too much to ask. 

As if to prove it, Bernstein "conduct- 



ed" the scherzo movement of the Brahms 
Fourth Symphony with hands at his side, 
communicating only through body Eng- 
lish and, one assumes, eye contact. It was 
a typically theatrical tour de force, but 
the point was made, even in a perform- 
ance that may not have been for all 
tastes — more inflated and pulled about 
than the music could bear. More doubt- 
ful still: Imagine the Vienna Philharmon- 
ic reduced to a small jazz combo and 
tearing into Bernstein's own raunchy 
Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs. The idea was 
teasing and the playing stupendous, but 
the accents seemed to fall in all the 
wrong places. 

So much for reservations. From the 
very first crunching sound of the lower 
strings digging into the grim march that 
opens the Mahler Sixth Symphony, ev- 
eryone knew that another genuine Bern- 
stein Experience was cooking. Some may 
have wondered whether the traditionally 
mellow, laid-back Vienna orchestra had 
the right stuff to reproduce the tough 
clash of sonorities and disturbing dra- 
matic undercurrents that make this sym- 
phony so shattering. Not to worry. The 
blend was gorgeous, but it also had a cut- 
ting edge and a transparency that easily 
allowed individual instruments to pene- 
trate and register their personal laments. 
Carefully planned, attentive to every de- 
tail, and crushing in its cumulative pow- 
er, the performance did what all per- 
formances of the Mahler Sixth should do: 
It left the audience stunned. 

This was to have been the week when I

looked in on several of the smaller, too 
often undersung orchestras that bravely 
make a go of it in New York City. The 
news of big changes at the Philharmonic 
upset my schedule, but I did squeeze in 
concerts by two groups and was glad of 
it. The Riverside Symphony, founded in 
1981 by conductor George Rothman and 
composer Anthony Korf, is in residence 
at Columbia University this season, but 
when I heard the orchestra it was visiting 
Alice Tully Hall. Giving exposure to new 
music, unusual repertory, and promising 
young musicians — that sums up the Riv- 
erside's brief, and this enterprising pro- 
gram made an excellent case for it. 

Korf himself was represented by his re- 
cently completed Symphony No. 2, a 
subdued, rather melancholy, but friendly 
score that adroitly blends a gently disso- 
nant idiom with a hint of populism (the 
subtitle is "Blue Note"). I look forward to 
further acquaintance with the music on a 
forthcoming New World Records re- 
lease. The orchestra's guest, Christopher 
O'Riley, played Bartok's second concerto 
with extraordinary technical bravura 
while discovering more poetry in the 
notes than most pianists do. In the de- 
partment of welcome novelties, Rothman 
expertly led the Riversiders through the 
intricate instrumental traceries of Pro- 
kofiev's Waltz Suite, and the Canticum 
Novum Singers joined the orchestra in 
five exquisite pieces by Ravel, composed 
between 1900 and 1905 but , incompre- 
hensibly, unperformed until 1983. 

Meanwhile, at the 92nd Street Y, the 
New York Chamber Symphony and its 
insatiably investigative music director, 
Gerard Schwarz, devised yet another 
hard-to-resist program: four excerpts 
from Bach's Art of Fugue in Schwarz's 
own prismatic orchestrations; Ferruccio 
Busoni's high-principled but always be- 
guiling Violin Concerto played by Jaime 
Laredo; and more of Richard Strauss's 
delicious incidental music for Le Bour- 
geois Gentilhomme than most people 
have ever heard. 

Strauss could salvage only part of his 
music for Hugo von Hofmannsthal's dis- 
astrous German adaptation of the Mo- 
liere play, and the suite he arranged has 
always been standard concert fare. Per- 
formances of the complete score are rare, 
mainly because there are three singers 
and a male chorus who make impracti- 
cally brief but vital contributions, not to 
mention a narrator who should be on 
hand to provide dramatic continuity. 
Schwarz saw to all that, and the casting 
was luxurious: Kaaren Erickson, Cynthia 
Clarey, and Roger Roloff were the fine 
soloists, and Werner Klemperer gave a 
wickedly understated reading of Richard 
Wilbur's witty English text. Best of all, 
this irrestistible pastiche was played as 
Strauss would have wished: as a glittering, 
seductive piece of chamber music. m

are at home and comfortable, an hour at 
a time, uninflated into full-length movies 
or mini-series, on public television. The 
entire "Tales From the Hollywood Hills" 
series is an exercise in breast-beating by 
big-name writers disappointed on the as- 
sembly line at the dream factory — John 
O'Hara, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William 
Faulkner, Budd Schulberg, P. G. Wode- 
house. When the series succeeds, it does 
so almost in spite of the writers, so full of 
bad faith and sour grapes. It succeeds be- 
cause a Michelle Pfeiffer showed up last 
year in O'Hara's otherwise pedestrian 
Natica Jackson, and because a Rita Mo- 
reno transcends The Closed Set. That's 
the real lesson: Like art, crap works only 
when you know how to work it. 

Take My Daughters, Please (monday, 
November 21; 9 to 11 p.m.; NBC) 
shouldn't work at all. Imagine Rue 
McClanahan as a widowed housewife 
who writes a column of handy hints for 
happy homemakers in a Santa Monica 
newspaper. Imagine her four grown 
daughters, unhappily married. The old- 
est, Deidre Hall, is a marketing profes- 
sional who's sworn off sex since her 
failed marriage to a sixties hippie. The 
youngest, Kim Delaney, works as a secre- 
tary to support a law student who may 
never make an honest woman of her. In 
between are Stepfanie Kramer, who waits 
around in a fancy apartment for a man 
who's married to somebody else, and Su- 
san Ruttan, who has one child and wants 
another but is on hold until her boyfriend 
decides to abandon his entrepreneurial 
pipe dreams for a nine-to-five job selling 
shoes. 

If you recognize all these faces, and 
they seem oddly to belong together, it's 
not because they are in any way related 
except by the packaging coincidence of 
having all been around on other NBC 
programs, like The Golden Girls, Our 
House, Hunter, and L.A. Law, the ulti- 
mate network family. Now imagine that 
Mom, on a local TV talk show, gets her- 
self bad-mouthed by a post-feminist psy- 
cho-babbler more than a little gratified to 
point out to her that her daughters have a 
better chance of being kidnapped by ter- 
rorists than finding a man, and it's all 
Rue's fault. So Rue places ads in the per- 
sonals column of the newspaper and 




A STAR WAS BORN: Penelope Ann Miller and Moreno in The Closed Set. 



AS MANY IRONIES AS SATISFACTIONS AT- 

tend The Closed Set (Friday, November 
18; 9 to 10 p.m.; Channel 13), the last of 
this season's series of "Tales From the 
Hollywood Hills." An over-the-hill fifties 
movie star (Rita Moreno) hires a hotshot 
"New York boychick" art-film director 
(D. W. Moffett) to save her from a fate 
worse than death (box-office body odor). 
Boychick, whom we know to be uncon- 
ventional and sensitive because of his 
motorcycle, wants to make a searing hu- 
man docudrama about the loneliness of 
old age as a refining process by which the 
actress at last arrives at a performance of 
her secret self. The star wants a musical 
in which to show off her legs to the studio 
boss (Harold Gould). Guess who wins? 

Among the satisfactions is Moreno, of 
course. She's probably too "ethnic" to 
have been famous, much less washed up, 
in Hollywood in the fifties, but she can 
do anything she wants to in front of a 
camera, with her eyes or legs. Gabriel 
Damon is fine, too, as her young son, a 
spy in the Garden of Allah, old in the 
face from all that he ought not know, like 
a corrupt jockey. The script, by Ellen M. 
Violett from a short story in Gavin Lam- 
bert's witty 1959 collection, The Slide 
Area, is first-rate. (Offered the conso- 
lations of Moreno's practiced body, Mof- 



fett nobly declines: "Thanks, but I'm a di- 
rector, not a stunt man." Later on, after 
she's destroyed him, she will explain: 
"Crap works.") And the director, Mollie 
Miller, knows her way around palm trees 
and swimming pools — the back lot in our 
dreamy heads, from so many of these 
hair-shirt movies. 

Among the ironies is also Moreno. Be- 
cause she's so good, she subverts the 
premise. We'd just as soon see her in a 
show-stopping production number as 
alone and reduced and desolate at a pi- 
ano, tinkling the once-was and might- 
have-beens. Such a subversion, by incan- 
descence, makes us wonder whether the 
boychick's New York remedial serious- 
ness isn't as much a cliche as the Holly- 
wood sellout. I'd like to think that Lam- 
bert was wondering the same thing when 
he wrote this story, but probably not. A 
Brit who left film criticism at Sig/i/ and 
Sound for scriptwriting in Gomorrah, 
Lambert seems to have been thinking in- 
stead about Nicholas Ray, who managed 
to direct Rebel Without a Cause before 
the studios ate him up and spit him out. 
Lambert's own wicked Hollywood novel, 
Inside Daisy Clover, was turned into a ve- 
hicle for Natalie Wood. Irony is wasted 
on Hollywood, as sarcasm is on children. 

But exactly these ironies and this waste

haunts art galleries and baseball games 
and singles bars in search of males who 
are eligible, sincere, and squeaky-clean, 
and in general makes a Jewish-mother- 
with-a-southern-accent nuisance of her- 
self, after which her daughters are a mite 
wiser if not a whit happier, to which she 
responds, "I'll butt out . . . if you take 
over." 

This seems to me as socially regressive 
as the forthcoming Bork Court. But Take 
My Daughters, Please, written by Lindsay 
Harrison and directed by Larry Elikann, 
made me grin against my will. It's fun- 
ny — the jokes range from Ingmar Berg- 
man movies to Oliver North dolls, from 
G-spots to est seminars — and quick and 
sure of its frothy self; and the talent gets a 
chance to stretch in new directions. If 
Ruttan is sulky, Kramer is sultry. 
McClanahan improves on Nancy Walker 
as Terminal Mother, Delaney brings out 
the cuddle, and Hall is especially impres- 
sive as an ice-queen/Cybill Shepherd sort 
of glamour puss with some repressed 
vampiness. If you can't stand the con- 
cluding pieties, you have to blame the 
vapid premise. Forgive that, and you're 
likely to forgive yourself. 

ROBIN WILLIAMS WAS RIGHT. AT LEAST, I 

think it was Robin Williams who said 
that Brooke Shields and Leonid Brezhnev 
have the same eyebrows. I'm immune to 
Brooke Shields. I agree with my son, who 
almost started smoking because Brooke 
Shields appeared in so many ads telling 
him not to. But it's practically impossible 
not to look at a TV movie that seeks 
somehow simultaneously to contain 
Brooke Shields and Twiggy, not to men- 
tion Howard Hesseman, Ed Marinaro, 
and Darren McGavin, and that's my ex- 
cuse for having watched The Diamond 
Trap (Sunday, November 20; 9 to 1 1 p.m.; 
CBS). You'll have to do better. 

Hesseman and Marinaro are New 
York cops who hear about a $12-million 
jewelry heist about to happen. Shields is 
involved, if she isn't dead. Twiggy works 
for Scotland Yard, sort of. All of them 
wander around in a script by David Peck- 
inpah that wants to be for some other 
movie. There's a joke, for instance, in- 
volving Plutarch and Herodotus, and an- 
other that has something to do with Fran- 
cis Bacon — "Revenge is a kind of wild 
justice." Neither belongs in The Dia- 
mond Trap, which uses up more than an 
hour and a half before getting around to 
showing us Shields wearing a bathing 
suit, which is what she does best instead 
of acting a character, although she was 
all right dead. The Diamond Trap, in fact, 
is a series of delayed payoffs, telegraphed 
punches, puffs and chugs, as if stitched 
together out of the leftovers of seven dif- 
ferent low-concept story conferences and 
as many Excedrin headaches. 

I liked Twiggy. wmm

WEST SIDE 
GLORY 



". . .Something good is happening in Andiamol's kitchen. At Poiret, 
start almost anywhere on the menu: You won't be unhappy. . ." 



BUILDER LEWIS FUTTERMAN IS NOT JUST 

another victim of the must-own-a-restau- 
rant virus: "I got tired of hearing myself 
complain about how difficult it is to find 
fine food on the West Side." fust a hop 
uptown, veteran restaurateur Michael 
Weinstein has been trying for adecade.so 
why not try once again? Is the curse of 
the West Side cuisinary doldrums chal- 
lenged? You bet it is. 

nothing about Andiamo! IS PROMIS- 
ing. First, you have to run up and down 
Broadway trying to find it. Then you have 
to stroll through something called the 
Cafe Bel Canto — at night, it looks about 
as romantic as a cafe in a subway station. 
Indeed, it's a "public amenity" as pre- 
scribed by a city that demands an inch 
for every mile it gives away, traded by 
Futterman for extra floors of condomini- 
ums. But he keeps the commercial space 
for the canteen of his dreams — where 
operagoers can come in black tie and the 
neighbors in blue jeans. 

So follow the red neon through a narrow 
passage and . . . Andiamo! Enter a soaring 
loft space with an iron staircase climbing 
to a somewhat desolate balcony. 

You know what's on the walls is art be- 
cause a list of titles arrives with the 
menus. Nothing is for sale. This is Futter- 
man's collection, but like what you see 
and names of galleries are supplied. You 
may recognize that someone who loves 
Italian wines has gathered some unusual 
treasures at very gentle prices. That's 
Futterman again. When French wine 
stopped being fun to buy, he turned to 
Italy and made himself an expert. 

But not till carpaccio, lush roasted 
peppers, splendid crabmeat tortelli, and 
rich spinach raviolini arrive does your 
mouth get the welcome news: Something 
good is happening in Andiamol's kitch- 
en. Chef Francis Crispo, a Culinary Insti- 
tute graduate with stints under Jean- 
(acques Rachou and Daniel Boulud, calls 
it "Italian inspired." And inspired it can 
be, generous portions, lovingly ar- 
ranged — especially the evening I was rec- 
ognized. And though both service and 
kitchen are still stuttering a bit, two can 
eat well at perhaps overly ambitious 
prices: three courses, with wine, tax, and 
tip, can easily hit $110 to $120. 

There will be new, more wintry dishes 




ANDIAMO!: Art on the wall, generous portions on the table. 



on the menu beginning this week, but up 
till now, pastas have been my favorite 
starters: veal-stuffed raviolini in sage 
cream; those tortelli in an unusual carrot 
butter; pennelike garganelli with fresh 
tomato, basil, and mozzarella; pesto- 
tossed capellini; and angel hair with an 
astonishment of deftly cooked sea crit- 
ters — shrimp, mussel, clam, scallops, ca- 
lamari, even a lobster claw or two — but 
nary a hint of saffron. (Appetizer por- 
tions are $7 to $12; entrees, $13 to $21.) 

Warm salads — veal-prosciutto-and- 
shiitake, or spinach-and-bacon with Gor- 
gonzola — are good, too, as is a portion of 
baked eggplant beside a melt of mozza- 
rella in a decent tomato sauce. Lamb 
here is not remarkable, but roasted 
monkfish with garlic chips is a triumph, 
as are six fat sea scallops with a caramel- 
ized edge in a bit too much tarragon-but- 
ter sauce. Veal chop arrives medium pink 
with Swiss chard in a sauce cooked down 
to a fine glaze, and good roast squab 
comes with braised peaches. Each dish 



gets its own garnish; some, 
like the cake of layered Japa- 
nese eggplant and zucchini 
with a confit of pepper and 
onion, are superb. 

An emigre from the '21' 
pastry department does a cus- 
tard that's eccentric — honey 
saffron — but delicious. His za- 
baglione is thick and per- 
fumed. The homemade gelati, 
including excellent espresso, 
comes with three sauces divid- 
ed by lines of meringue, a cer- 
tifiable work of art. Ditto the 
layered chocolate-and-rasp- 
berry mousse frosted with 
black and white chocolate in 
the shape of a chic little hat.

THE POP-EATS TEAM THAT 

gave us Ernie's, the Saloon, 
America, and the Ritz Cafe 
has been flashy, adventurous, 
prescient, hot, and successful. 
Now, at long last, Weinstein 
and company have finally put 

together a restaurant where 

the food is, believe it or not . . . really 
good. Poiret. 

Actually, it was designer Nancy Mah 
who dragged the imprint of turn-of-the- 
century couturier Paul Poiret into this 
plain-Jane little storefront. She drafted 
the refreshingly bombastic tile facade, 
the clever stenciled floor, and the floral 
arabesques on the walls after a Poiret de- 
sign, never realizing that the influential 
designer had also cast himself as "le pre- 
sident honoraire"oi a purists' club (a cov- 
en of epicures) and the champion of a 
memorable herring dish — "a salad for 
the nouveaux pauvres." 

Our town's Poiret is not exactly a sanc- 
tuary for the seriously pauvre. Flush from 
the success of a brasserie in Boston, 
Weinstein wanted a bistro here, but chef 
Bill Lalor tossed in some upscale notions, 
making it easy for two to spend $85 to 
$115 for three courses and wine, tax and 
tip included. 

It's early, and Poiret is uneven. There 
may be a chanteuse on the sound system

screeching to be heard above the din. 
Even our most professional waiter can't 
get four plates on the table all at once. 
The good, chewy rolls disappear, never 
to be replaced. But the ice-water carafe is 
devoutly refilled. We've chosen a lusty 
Cahors from the friendly wine list. And 
the flicker of votive candles is kind to the 
crowd: real people of the West Side, not a 
calamity or a costume in sight. 

Start almost anywhere on the menu or 
the long list of daily specials — written 
(hooray), not recited. You won't be un- 
happy. Good onion soup or homey pur6e 
of pea with a trail of mint, clams brushed 
with garlic butter or mushrooms roasted 
to intensify their flavor. One evening's 
special sausage en croute is sturdy, the 
pastry thin and nicely cooked through. I 
must say $10 and $12 seem greedy even 
for salads as good as these: home-cured 
tomatoes with blue cheese from Bresse, a 
dab of tapenade, all touched with basil 
and balsamic vinaigrette; or ham with 
zestily marinated avocado and chicory; 
or four impeccably grilled shrimp with 
roasted red pepper on frisee. 

Huge portions are whimsically gar- 
nished — here a tang of pickled onion, 
there a covey of olives, everywhere a fu- 
sillade of tomato cubes; with entrees, 
couscous (once slightly dry), luscious 
peas and onions with a buttery chiffon- 
ade of romaine, crossed asparagus, thin- 
nest haricots verts, and, often, chopped 
eggplant and peppers. That softens the fi- 
nancial blow. 

The simple roast chicken is a bit too 
simple — not notably crisp or flavorful — 
and I wish there were more bistro clas- 
sics like the moist carbonnade of beef 
and delicious lamb stew. But striped bass 
baked in Pernod-spiked cream under a 
mantle of fennel is sublime. I didn't like 
the concept of tuna au poivre in cognac 
and cream, but it works. Scallops in a 
pool of tarragon beurre blanc and sau- 
teed beef medallions with chanterelles 
are good, too. And the sweetbreads, as a 
special, are ethereal clouds in a wonder- 
fully tangy lemon sauce. 

If that is Poiret's ghost in the kitchen, he 
should do something to cure the blandness 
of the seafood fry (calamari, shrimp, and 
baby eels), toss the pate into the garbage 
when it gets this sour, and make sure the 
lamb shanks don't overstew. 

For some reason that escapes me, no 
dessert chef has the courage to serve any- 
thing without a puddle of creme anglaise 
or raspberry coulis, and these desserts 
are mostly good enough to stand alone — 
a fine apple tart, good chocolate-mousse 
cake, and, one evening, strawberries in 
pastry cream sandwiched between two 
lovely shortbread cookies in mango 
puree.

and hence the local custom was that 
you only worried about people near-

town of extinct tanneries, he is the 
only one with nice gloves. 

F. William Peterson is a harmless 
type, though, unlike Sam Hall, who, 
as his name suggests — two harsh 
monosyllables that recall an old- 
fashioned oath — is a man of violent 
action. On hearing that Peterson is 
representing Jenny in a divorce suit, 
he pounds his face in, a deed that 
commands the lawyer's fear and 
sneaking admiration for more than 
twenty years. 

Ned's own relationship with Sam, who 
appears at widely spaced intervals, all 
terror and charm, is the heart of this nov- 
el, which spans the 30 years from Ned's 
birth to Sam's death. Sam is a father who 
teaches Ned how to fish and climb a tree, 
who tells a dirty joke in front of Ned's 
ideal girl, and who empties out his bank 
account. Russo keeps returning to the 
difficulty of being a man in a society 
where physical courage is a ludicrous 
anachronism or an irrevocably lower- 
class quality. Ned struggles with the 
problem of becoming manly without be- 
ing needlessly cruel, of pursuing freedom 
without courting loneliness, of asserting 
himself without inflicting contempt on 
others. In a necessary act of separation 
from his mother, a soft-voiced emotional 



tyrant, Ned defies her over a pretentious 
dinner. "My mother's face registered 
nothing at first. Then it came apart, and 
the hand holding her second martini be- 
gan to shake perceptibly. Finally, she too 

became aware of it She got halfway 

to the bar, then stopped in the geometric 
center of the dining room, where it must

have occurred to her that she did not 
know where the ladies' room was, that it 
could be anywhere, that she hadn't a 
clue." 

The Risk Pool is full of such painful 
and memorable scenes — my favorite is 
the wake of Mohawk's richest citizen, 
which the townspeople treat as a house 
tour, maligning his canapes and stealing 
his books. In its evenhanded apprecia- 
tion for the people usually written off by 
the Great Insurance Adjustor, it some- 
times topples into sentimentality, and its 
framework of a boy's growing up seems 
weak for a novel of this length (the book 
becomes repetitious and thin when it 
picks up after a ten-year gap). But Russo 
has continued to build a sturdy fictional 
place and populate it with real, breath- 
ing, bleeding characters who belong 



there. Drunks, thieves, martyrs, fools — 
he likes them all, and so, after a fashion, 
do you. 

The High Road, by Edna O'Brien. Far- 
rar, Straus and Giroux; 214 pages; $18.95. 

WHEN IT COMES TO WALKING THE LINE 

between sensuality and self-infatua- 
tion, Edna O'Brien will never pass a 
Breathalyzer test. Relentlessly giddy, 
swarming with hyperbole and pa- 
thetic fallacies, her prose has a 
stranglehold on the ineffable. One 
seems to read The High Road to an 
accompaniment of sighs — the au- 
thor's rapturous twitterings and the 
reader's disbelieving oy vays. 

On an unnamed Spanish island, in 
the season of the sirocco, are several 
middle-aged women, bruised by 
sensuality but still in there pitching. 
Anna, the Irish narrator, who is in 
search of the meaning of life, is shar- 
ing a villa with Portia, a rather 
broody post-deb who "had thrown 
the gold chairs through the window 
of the Ritz at her coming-out party." 
She subsequently married a fellow 
called Pirate, who deserted her right 
after the wedding (no surprise to 
anyone who knows that "at times he 
believed himself to be Rupert 
Brooke and at other times Ronald 
Firbank. His bedroom was done in 
red silk . . ."). Then she met a fellow 
— in a bar who bought her a lot of 
champagne. "Martin and herself went to 
the tap room and later on she appeared 
stark naked except for the pearls and 
said, 'Darlings, I've just got engaged to a 
very very naughty man.' " Portia and Anna 
fall out when Anna invades Portia's 
locked bedroom to rifle through her pos- 
sessions ("Her eyes were so violent the 
sockets seemed to be filled with blood"). 
Anna takes herself off, to seek the mean- 
ing of life in a luxury hotel. 

At the pool, she makes friends with 
Iris, who finds her an exception to the 
"very declasse" crowd there: "The 
imperious woman in the violet coat is 
suddenly standing over me and asking 
me if I find it as Bolshie as she does. She 
asks, she says, because when passing she 
could not fail to notice the book on my 
table. It is the final volume of Remem-

brance of Things Past." Iris and Anna 
shed the canaille who are still struggling 
with Swann's Way, and have many amus- 
ing times ("She said she had thought of 

the most wonderful thing for us to do 

We would each think, but really think, of 
the most beautiful building we had ever 
seen, thatwe yearnedto return to, prefera- 
bly with a lover She smiled, antici- 
pating my answer. She even conjectured 
on what it might be. . . . She simply ached 
to know"). 

But Anna cannot sit on her hands or 
button her lip. She snoops into Iris's fam- 
ily problems, then tells her and is 
chucked out. Once more, she must look 
for another companion in sensuality. 

Anna finally hits the jackpot, not with 
another lady of an all-too-certain age but 
with Catalina, a ripe and juicy little plum 
of the Mediterranean who is a chamber- 
maid in the hotel. Throughout the novel, 
Anna has been down in the dumps rath- 
er, reflecting on how her natural habitat 
is the womb of sorrow, seeing bad par- 
ents in the waves ("The sea had relin- 
quished its blues, its greens, and its vio- 
lets and was now like a great, dark, 
recumbent wet mother; mother of crea- 
tures, animate and half animate, mother 
of life and death, moon and star, mother 
of the unknown; indifferent to the 
wretched pleas or cries of man"). With 



Catalina, though, she perks up, avid for 
the simple life: "I yearned to be with her, 
on the scooter, on her farm, milking the 
goats with her, anything." 

Disaster strikes when Anna has as lit- 
tle success keeping her busy fingers out 
of Catalina's drawers as out of her 
friends' affairs. Or at least that's what 
seems to be going on. "... I stretched out 
and cleaved to her, through her opening 
to life . . . tenderness, rabidness; hunger, 
back, back in time to that wandering 
milky watery bliss." The loss to Spanish 
honor must be avenged in blood, but not 
that of Anna, who, with a rather English 
air of Oh-dear-I-seem-to-have-made- 
rather-a-muddle-of-things, gathers up 
her skirts and heads for home. 

One keeps wondering — not to men- 
tion hoping — whether Edna O'Brien has 
any satiric intention here. Yet no one on 
this rarefied island even suggests that 
Anna, Iris, and Portia are full of enough 
manure to supply American agribusiness 
for a year. And, though Portia and Iris 
sound increasingly demented, any ten- 
dency to find them ridiculous is undercut 
by awestruck tributes to their beauty ("In 
the dim and artful light of the room she 
looked far younger; a night creature, 
startled, like the bark of the pale ash 
tree"). 

Although the jewels and flowers and 



other appurtenances of sensuality are 
hardly provided by the leprechauns, 
there is no suggestion of how any of these 
girls comes by the ready. O'Brien may 
dismiss this as a too-effable triviality, but 
her treatment of the Anna-Catalina rela- 
tionship bespeaks a really horrible appli- 
cation of the idea that the well-to-do are 
free to take their pleasures as they may. 
Catalina is given no inner life, never be- 
comes more than a gaily painted peasant 
figure on a pottery jar. Once again, one 
looks in vain for some indication that the 
author intends us to feel some detach- 
ment, some horror at the casual inhu- 
manity of the professionally sensual; her 
sympathies, however, are more with An- 
na's mental distress than with her play- 
mate's mutilation. 

This precious production would not be 
worth demolishing at such length were it 
not for the fact that Edna O'Brien used to 
portray the lives of the vulnerable poor — 
when she was one of them — with delica- 
cy and grace. With the shift in her 
allegiances to the lady in the big house 
(or big hotel), however, things have gone 
sadly awry. There's nothing wrong with a 
writer's changing subjects along with her 
circumstances, but O'Brien has swapped 
clarity for Grandeur and Passion, in 
deep-dyed colors too gorgeous to be 
true. m

". . .The trouble with casting Williams and Martin in these roles is 
that they make too young, too well-fed, too famous a pair. . ." 



Beckett's Waiting for Godot is the 
tragedy of man comically told. Mike 
Nichols's Godot at Lincoln Center is the 
tragedy of an American theater turned 
into shtick. With this fractured Godot, 
Nichols proves yet again (as if it were 
necessary) that he is one of the greatest 
directors of mediocre material. Not con- 
tent with finding mediocrity where it so 
plentifully exists, he must create it where 
it isn't: in the heart of a masterpiece. 

The reason Beckett is execrated in 
Communist countries and trivialized in 
capitalist ones is that neither ideology 
can accept his stance: a heroic negation 
of any kind of salvation, so monumental 
as to dwarf the myths of redemption ac- 
cording to Marx, Mammon, or the Judeo- 
Christian God. The only way man can en- 
dure his mortality and assorted miseries 
is with an epic vaudeville act: You only 
laugh when it hurts — and it hurts all the 
time. The sole surcease is death, the clas- 
sic case of a cure worse than the malady. 
This is a laugh, all right, but not one that 
leaves the throat unlacerated. 

So let me make one thing clear right 
away: What you can see at the Mitzi 
Newhouse if you are able to get in (even 
many subscribers have been denied tick- 
ets) is not Godot but some rowdily per- 
formed piece of paltry burlesque dipped 
in a Beckett sauce. Waiting for Godot is a 
tragicomic masterwork; wading through 
this Waiting for Godot is a passable pas- 
time, a good enough way of avoiding a 
confrontation with the essential. 

To start with, the ecumenical is consis- 
tently shrunk to the American, rather 
like turning the universe into the Univer- 
sal back lot. Tony Walton, an expert in 
glamour and glamorized poverty (consid- 
er his set for The House of Blue Leaves), 
has given Nichols a jaunty sandbox filled 
with American bric-a-brac, from a rusty 
Nevada license plate (remember where 
atom bombs are detonated?) to a pictur- 
esque coyote's skull and other bones, 
from trendy sunglasses (Gogo goggles?) 
to a hubcap to play with, but, in view of 
the size of the stage, no Frisbee. 

The play has new lines written into it, 
all vulgarisms and quite uncalled for. 
Many are spoken by Vladimir and Estra- 
gon during Lucky's monologue to dis- 
courage the speaker. Coyote jawbones 
become a movie clapper in Estragon's 



hands, or Yorick's skull as this gung ho 
Gogo, Robin Williams, mutters a Ham- 
letic "Alas!" He also wields a large bone 
with words appropriate to an Oscar pre- 
sentation, and goes through his usual vo- 
cal routines, doing a buzzer on a TV 
game show, a takeoff on the Twilight 
Zone menace music, and all sorts of trick 
voices, as if this were Good Morning, Go- 
dot. Steve Martin, as Vladimir, takes few- 
er liberties, but his repertoire of reac- 
tions to the slur "Crritic!" — which in- 



with his own matutinal spittle, catches a 
few lice on his belly, and waves off an ex- 
truded fart with a lighted match. Beckett? 
Surely not. Steve Martin? He has some 
decency. Nichols? You betcha. Anyone 
who can have the barren tree, which in 
Act II sprouts "four or five leaves" and 
prompts Vladimir's "It's covered with 
leaves," display only one leaf — thus 
changing a pathetically hopeful remark 
into an imbecile one — has no feeling or 
understanding for the play. (And don't

eludes a sort of death on the installment 
plan along with jack-in-the-box reviv- 
als — would feed an entire family of 
clowns for one solid engagement. And 
we get added dialogue like the archly 
and invidiously contemporary "You're a 
liberal?!!" And so on. 

And on. According to a program note, 
this stuff is from a brand-new version of 
the play, to be published by Faber and 
Faber in London. But what Faber and 
Grove Press are publishing is Beckett's 
Theatrical Notebook for the Berlin pro- 
duction (1975), with addenda from its 
San Quentin revival (1984) — unlikely to 
contain references to the recent presi- 
dential race. I think we are being gulled 
by Greg Mosher of Lincoln Center and 
Nichols, with his directorial tricks. 

Didi performs his morning ablutions 



tell me that Beckett himself rewrote the 
number of leaves!) Nichols's scenario of 
gimmicks obliterates the text. 

Pathos is now almost completely miss- 
ing; what little is left is mostly in lennifer 
Tipton's literally stunning lighting: Her 
sunset is what Jules Laforgue must have 
envisioned with "un coucher de cosmo- 
gonies." And Martin-Didi's repeated 
message to Godot, "Tell him you saw us" 
(later reduced to "saw me"), is quietly af- 
fecting — as so much else ought to be. But 
the trouble with casting Williams and 
Martin in these roles is that they make 
too young, too well-fed, too famous a 
pair. Instead of conveying half a centu- 
ry's struggling and starving, they suggest 
a "Fifty Years of TV Comedy" retrospec- 
tive at the Museum of Broadcasting.

ter, but the actor has such a common 
face, voice, and accent that he does not 
embody a usurping upper class. He ex- 
udes mafioso nastiness; conversely, Kurt 
Kasznar, in the Broadway production, 
scored with a genial look and sound be- 
lied by evil words and actions. Much the 
best is Bill Irwin as Lucky, speaking as 
well as miming expertly, but looking too 
much like a nice Ivy Leaguer of bygone 
days, his crew cut inexplicably dyed 
white. Lukas Haas makes a decent Boy. 
And, I repeat, Martin has good moments; 
only Williams (who even eats that last 
carrot as if it were a chic hors d'oeuvre) 
and Nichols are unpardonable. The audi- 
ence at the first critics' preview laughed 
itself silly. Yet if theatergoers are really 
so benighted that only this kind of Godot 
can reach them, they are not worth 
reaching. Beckett's God, or Godot, is ab- 
sent; Nichols's Godot is dead. 

TAKE AN OLD DOG'S WORD FOR IT, 

there's such a thing as gnawing on a bone 
too long. When Spoils of War opened 
last May at the Second Stage, it proved 
one of the worthy Michael Weller's pain- 
fully self-revealing but less absorbing of- 
ferings. Apparently Austin Pendleton, 
the director, had helped Weller shape the 
material, but now the pair have overshot 
the mark. Whereas the earlier version felt 
slavishly autobiographical, this one feels 
too calculated for effect, contrivance el- 
bowing out reality. And it's worse. 

As the crazy, impossible, wonderful 
mother (when will we have earned a mor- 
atorium on her likes?), Kate Nelligan 
continues to be insufficiently New York 
Jewish and excessively solipsistic prima- 
donnaish. As the divorced father, rewrit- 
ten more sympathetically — but also less 
persuasively — Jeffrey De Munn gives 
what may be his first unconvincing per- 
formance: chuckling mechanically, rou- 
tinely blustering or soft-pedaling (grant- 
ed, some of his confrontational scenes 
now make little sense), and radiating syn- 
thetic forthrightness. He sticks retards 
into almost every line (but, then, Pendle- 
ton has directed the whole thing at an 
embalmed pace), and neither he nor his 
much younger lover, Penny, conveys 
their supposedly warm, uncomplicated 
relationship. As this earthy Central Park 
zookeeper, Marita Geraghty is pretty but 
vapid and stilted, unlikely to be good 
with the male, or any other, animal. 

Christopher Collet continues to be ap- 
pealing as the son, and Kevin O'Rourke 
is now more relaxed as a comical Texan, 
though his part has been unduly cut. In 
the even more truncated part of Mother's 
friend from idealistic leftist days, Alice 
Playten does well enough in a dreamy, 
abstracted sort of way. But in a play 
where the set could do much to enhance 
the moods, the good Andrew Jackness 
does his first perfunctory work. mm

An 
Educated 
Consumer 

It appears easy today to buy almost 
any product at 50% off. But the real 
question is... 50% off what? To an- 
swer that you need to know the true 
regular price. It's one reason why 
brand names are so important. They 
are your guide to the quality of a 
product and the price for which it 
regularly sells. 

For Example: 

If you were offered a new Cadillac 
for about $11,000 you'd know you 
were getting it at 50'% off because 
you knew the name and thereby the 
approximate regular price. 

How Do You Judge 
Value In Apparel? 

If you're buying apparel and you 
never heard of the name and don't 
know the true regular price— 50% 
off may mean nothing. Only by know- 
ing the brand name and the approxi- 
mate regular price can you make 
sure you're not overpaying. That's 
what consumer education is all 
about. 

How To I^earn 

Of course, you already know sev- 
eral brands which have satisfied you 
in the past and their true prices. You 
can add to these by simply shopping 
your favorite stores to get a feel for 
what you like and their price levels. 
Then you can read a "sale" wisely. If 
there is no brand name you know in 
that 50% Off sale it may not be a 
"good deal" just because it's marked 
50% off. And when you recognize 
a "good deal" you're an educated 
consumer.

number preceding each theater is used for cross- 
indexing the capsule reviews that follow. 

Schedules are accurate at press time, but theater owners 
may make late program changes. Phone ahead and avoid 
disappointment and rage.

NEW FILMS 


* New films recommended by New York's critic. 



* THE ACCUSED — (1 hr. 55 mm.; 1988) Jodie Foster is 
accurate and biting as an uneducated, foulmouthed 
girl, Sarah, who goes into a bar to have a good time, 
flirts a little, and gets beaten and raped by three men 
on a pinball machine. The assistant district attorney 
prosecuting the case (Kelly McGillis, in an intention- 
ally condescending performance) apparently agrees 
with the men's contention that Sarah was asking for it, 
because she refuses to put her on the stand as a witness 
on her own behalf. It's only when a second case gets 
under way — this time directed at the men who stood 
around watching — that Sarah gets to tell her story. 
The point of the movie is that a woman should be able 
to drink and flirt without getting raped for it. The 
picture is high-minded melodrama, and what saves it 
from sententiousness is Foster's performance — and the 
live-wire direction of Jonathan Kaplan, who brings 
real heat to the rape scene (it's violent and unenjoy- 
able, but we understand how men could just stand and 
watch it — mr'rt watching it). Tom Topor wrote the 
screenplay, which gets crude and sentimental in the 
dawn-of-sisterhood scenes between McGillis and Fos- 
ter. Produced by the team of Sherry Lansing and Stan- 
ley Jaffe. (10/31/88) R. 24, 64, 80, 101, 108, 112,

ALIEN NATION -i 1 hr. 39 min.; 1988) A detective thrill- 
er set in the near future, when 300,000 alien immi- 
grants are integrated into human society. With James 
Caan, Mandy Parinkin, and Terence Stamp. Written 
by Rockne S. O'Bannon. Dir. Graham Baker. R. 33, 
104, 112, 213, 533, 606, 608, 625, 904 

ANOTHER WOMAN— (1 hr. 35 min.; 1988) Woody Allen 
climbing the high towers of anguish once again, and 
falling off. Gena Rowlands plays Marion, a middle- 
aged philosophy professor whose morale comes apart. 
She wanders around an impeccably elegant New 
York, but the journey is really an interior one. Attack- 
ing like guilty thoughts, her husband, her brother, old 
friends, and old lovers accuse her of being "cold" or 
"unconsciously flirtatious" or — worst of all — "judg- 
mental." The movie is a bald imitation of Bergman's 
Wild Strawberries, only without the rhapsodic and lyri- 
cal imagery. Most of it is stiff and strenuous, like a 



hectoring "serious" Off Broadway play. What's so 
terrible about being "judgmental," anyway? It's not 
judgment most of us fear as much as bad judgment. 
With Ian Holm as Marion's husband. Gene Hackman 
as an old admirer, Sandy Dennis as an actress friend, 
and a very pregnant Mia Farrow as a woman Marion 
overhears talking to her shrink. (10/24/88) PG. 50 

BAGDAD CAFE— (1 hr. 11 min.; 1988) A tale of the un- 
likely friendship that blossoms in the California desert 
between a mysterious German tourist and the belea- 
guered owner of a desolate truck stop. With Marianne 
Sagebrecht and Jack Palance. Screenplay by Eleonore 
Action, Christopher Doherty, and Percy Action. Dir. 
Percy Adlon. PG. 11, 534 

BIRD— (1 hr. 50 min.; 1988) Clint Eastwood's dolorous 
portrait of the great alto sax player Charlie "Yard- 
bird" Parker is without a doubt the darkest feature 
film in the history of American movies. Forest Whit- 
aker gives a lovely performance as Parker, and Diane 
Venora does very well, too, as Parker's nobly forbear- 
ing wife, Chan Richardson, but you can't really see 
their beautiful and painful scenes together. Eastwood 
and screenwriter Joel Oliansky capture parts of Parker 
very well — the playfulness, the irony, the odd bursts 
of cercmoniousness, the offhand erudition. They sug- 
gest that the hip style of black musicians 40 years ago 
was essentially a controlled inflection of an inborn 
courtliness and formality. Whitaker's suavity can be 
dazzling, because it links Parker's personality to the 
more elegant side of his playing. What the filmmakers 
can't account for is the ecstatic element in Parker's 
music. The movie is another portrait of a suffering 
genius that is much bigger on suffering than genius.

CHILD'S PLAY — (1 hr. 44 min.; 1988) A diabolical killer 
traps a mother and child in a web of murder by inhab- 
iting an innocent-looking doll. With Alex Vincent, 
Chris Sarandon, and Catherine Hicks. Screenplay by 
Don Mancini, John Una, and Tom Holland. Dir. 
Holland. R. 36, 62, 85, 90, 92, 100, 101, 103, 108,

CLARA'S HEART— (1 hr. 48 min.; 1988) A Jamaican 
housekeeper greatly influences the life of a twelve- 
year-old boy, bringing him affection and diversion 
from his parents' impending divorce. With Whoopi 
Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, and Michael Ontkean. 
Screenplay by Mark Medoff. Dir. Robert Mulligan. 
PG-13. 31, 42, 112, 207, 213, 530, 714, 918 

CROSSING DELANCEY— (1 hr. 36 min.; 1988) The title 
refers to the apparently downward journey — social as 
well as geographical — undertaken by the movie's 
heroine, Isabelle Grossman (Amy Irving), a New York 
princess without a prince. Izzy has a good life manag- 
ing an intellectual bookstore, but her grandmother, 
Bubbie (Reizl Bozyk), is tired of seeing her unmarried 
and gets a neighborhood matchmaker to set Izzy up 
with a solid fellow from Essex Street — Sam the pickle 
man (Peter Riegert). The movie, which Susan Sandler 
adapted from her own play and Joan Micklin Silver 
directed, seems to be about cross-cultural and class dif- 
ferences in romance, but it fudges on its subject. Sam is 
a modern guy who inherited his father's business and 
stayed on the Lower East Side. He has no ethnic fla- 
vor. The movie is a bit of a fake, and, in embracing the 
wisdom of Bubbie, it offers a retreat from the problem 
of living in the city, not a solution to it. Yet it still has 
some charm. (9/19/88) PG. 20, 63, 219, 220, 301, 
307, 310, 503, 508, 524, 616, 621, 625, 705, 708,

A CRY IN THE DARK— (2 hrs. 1 min.; 1988) The true 
story of Australian couple Lindy and Michael Cham- 
berlain, who were tried for the murder of their baby 
daughter after the infant mysteriously disappeared 
during a camping trip. With Meryl S creep and Sam 
Neill. Screenplay by Robert Caswell and Fred 
Schepisi. Dir. Schepisi. PG-13. 10, 33, 53, 85, 112, 
200, 213. 219. 304. 309, 406, 505, 517, 524, 528,

ME HARD — (2 hrs. 7 min.; 1988) A group of swank 
thieves — mostly German, and led by a suave ex-ter- 
rorist (Alan Rickman) — invades a Los Angeles office 
tower (the home of a Japanese conglomerate) during a 
Christmas Eve office party. Taking the employees 
hostage, they attack the corporation's vault, which 
contains S650 million in bearer bonds. A New York 
cop (Bruce Willis), visiting his wife (Bonnie Bedelia), 
who is among the hostages, escapes to one of the un- 
finished floors in the new building and begins harass- 
ing the Germans. The movie turns into a battle of wits 
between Willis's prole cop and Rickman's super-edu- 
cated Schweinehund. John McTiernan, directing with 
great moment-to-moment ingenuity, gets into the ar- 
teries and skeleton of the building. Bloody but great 
fun. Written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, 
from a novel by Roderick Thorp. (8/1/88) R. 530, 
806 

DISTANT THUNDER— (1 hr. 54 min.; 1988) An emotion- 
ally troubled combat veteran disappears into the 
mountains, and the son he has never seen leads the 
search for him. With John Lithgow and Ralph Mac- 
chio. Screenplay by Robert Stitzel. Dir. Rick Rosen- 
thal. R. 24, 62, 85 

ERNEST SAVES CHRISTMAS— (1 hr. 29 min.; 1988) The 
incomparable Ernest P. Worrell comes to the rescue 
when Sana's magic bag is stolen. With Jim Varney 
and Douglas Scale. Screenplay by B. Kline and Ed 
Turner. Dir. John Cherry. PG. 20, 36, 66, 89, 101, 
102, 112, 200, 204, 207, 211. 300, 302, 312, 314,

EVERYBODY'S ALL-AMERICAN — ( 1 hr. 43 min.; 1988) A 
rum movie, but Dennis Quaid gives a terrifically mov- 
ing performance as a star athlete, a great running back 
from Louisiana who responds to the common fate of 
growing old as if he had contracted a crippling disease. 
Quaid's Gavin Grey — brush-cut reddish brown hair, 
leathery voice, bluff manner — leads his college team 
to the 1956 Sugar Bowl championship and then mar- 
ries his sweetheart, the beautiful, blonde campus 
queen, Babs (Jessica Lange). Yet Gavin's life after col- 
lege, including a decade or so in pro football, is a long 
and sodden decline into Nowneresville. Quaid is 
amazing, but is the decline of an athlete really worth 
building a movie around? Everybody's AU-Ameriun 
treats Gavin's growing old as if it were a tragic theme 
and a quintessential American story rather than a 
problem one man has special trouble handling. The 
scheme of the movie is so terribly obvious: Babs, raised 
to be the perfect helpmate and nothing else, adapts to 
her husband's decline and goes into business, becom- 
ing the family breadwinner, Gavin's adoring nephew 
Donnie (Urn Hutton) becomes a successful historian 
who writes books. They rise as he falls. The filmmak- 
ers impose a progressive demoralization on the materi- 
al and ask us to see their scheme as Life in All Its Sor- 
rows. Directed by Taylor Hackford. Written by Tom 
Rickman, from a novel by Frank Deford. (11/14/88)

FAR NORTH— (1 hi. 30 min.; 1988) When their patri-

of a family come home to Minnesota. With Jessica 
Lange, Charles Durning, and Tess Harper. Written 
and directed by Sam Shepard. PG-13. 45 

FEDS — (1 hr. 46 min.; 1988) A comedy about two wom-

Marshall. Screenplay by Dan Goldberg and Len Blum. 
Dir. Goldberg. R. 301, 530, 606 

*A FISH CALLED WANDA— (1 hr. 43 min.; 1988) A 
crude but funny grafting of the wild Monty Python 
sensibility onto the framework of an old Ealing Studio 
comedy. In London, some valuable gems are heisted 
by an extremely peculiar gang of thieves: Tom 
Georgeson (a sleaze), Michael Palin (an animal-loving 
stutterer), Jamie Lee Curtis (a lying femme fatale), and 
Kevin Kline (a Gordon Liddy-type schmuck). The di- 
rector, Charles Crichton, working with John Cleese's 
script, frees the actors to have a good time. Curtis and 
Kline caper amusingly, but the British are generally 
more skilled — especially Maria Aitken, as Cleese's 
put-upon wife, and Palin, who turns a physical handi- 
cap — stuttering — into an actor's fantasy, an explosion 
of poetry. PG-13. (7/18/88) 30, 510, 531, 620, 623,

FRESH HORSES— (1 hr. 45 min.; 1988) A drama about a 
young college student and his obsession with a local 
woman. With Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ring-

THE GOOD MOTHER— (1 hr. 44 min.; 1988) Unedifying, 
TV-movieish adaptation of Sue Miller's earnest best- 
seller. Anna Dunlop (Diane Keaton), a young woman 
who has just ended an unsatisfactory marriage and 
who lives with her daughter, Molly, falls in love with 
a passionate sculptor, Leo Cutter (Liam Neeson), and 
comes alive sexually for the first time in her life. But 
then she is severely punished: Her husband starts a 
custody case on the basis of what Molly has told 
him — that the sculptor (at Molly's request) allowed 
her to touch his penis. Because of this minor event, 
Anna loses custody of her daughter. The movie, and 
the book, would seem to be an indictment of a society 
that has trouble dealing with sexual happiness in a 
mother. But Sue Miller's writing is fundamentally de- 
pressed and muffled, and more confusion than anger 
comes through. We seem to have entered a blighted 
realm where everyone is stupid and events follow a 
meaningless and arbitrary course. With James 
Naughton as the husband, Jason Robards as Anna's de- 
fense attorney. (11/14/88) R. 26, 34, 61, 83, 112,

* GORILLAS IN THE MIST— (2 hrs. 5 min.; 1988) It be- 
gins as a rather stuffy celebration of a woman who 
struggles against reversals to perform a great deed. Si- 
gourney Weaver plays Dian Fossey, the American pri- 
matologist who went to Africa in 1967 to save the 
threatened species of mountain gorillas. Settled atop 
her mountain in Rwanda, she makes contact with the 
animals. Fossey protects them against the Barwa 
poachers, who slaughter the gorillas to sell the hands 
and heads to traders. When the obsessional side of 
Fossey's character takes over, Weaver turns into a hur- 
ricane. She becomes inhuman, and the movie becomes 
a courageous exploration of the way moral fervor can 
turn someone into a monster. It's a tragic paradox. 
With Bryan Brown as Fossey's sometime lover Bob 
Campbell, who publicized her all over the world. 
Written by Anna Hamilton Phclan. Directed by Mi- 
chael Apted. (10/3/88) PG-13. 10, 320, 501, 502,

HIGH SPIRITS— (1 hr. 48 min.; 1988) The owner of a 
castle in Ireland plans to turn his crumbling ancestral 
home into a haunted amusement park to bring in tour- 
ist money, but the spirits of his deceased ancestors tum 
the prank into reality. With Daryl Hannah, Peter

509, 600, 610, 612, 613, 625, 723, 724, 920, 937 

* HOTEL TERMINUS— (4 hrs. 27 min.; 1988) In Eng., 
French, German, and Spanish, Eng. subtitles. This co- 
lossal documentary by Marcel Ophuls, director of The 
Sorrow anil the Pity, is an incomparable portrait of the 
culture — not just the demonic instance — of evil. 
Ophuls's subject is Klaus Barbie, whom a French court 
convicted in 1987 of "crimes against humanity." Ge- 
stapo chief of Lyons during the war, Barbie was an 
ordinary sadist in the employ of the Third Reich. 
What makes him unusual is that his career as a Fascist 
continued for 40 years after the war. Pursuing Barbie's 
traces in the American intelligence community, which 
used him to fight Communism in the late forties, and 
in Bolivia, where Barbie advised dictators, gave in- 
structions in torture, and possibly ran guns to drug 
lords, Ophuls becomes a kind of moral detective, in- 
vestigating not so much the man Barbie as the entire 
complex of venality and stupidity that makes such a 
human always fascinating. At times, Ophuls, losing 
his patience with old Nazis who evade him, turns 
downright mischievous, and the film, for all its hor- 
ror, has a mocking and ironic spirit that keeps one ex- 
cited by the chase. (10/17/88) 

IMAGINE: JOHN LENNON— (1 hr. 43 min.; 1988) A docu- 
mentary composed from over 200 hours of footage of 
John and Yoko, including clips of previously unpub- 
lished music. Narrated by Lennon. Written by Sam 
Egan and Andrew Solt. Dir. Solt. R. 43 

IRON EAGLE II — (1 hr. 45 min.; 1988) A group of hot- 
shot American pilots join forces with Soviet flying 
aces on a mission to destroy a nuclear-missile site in a 
hostile foreign country. With Lou Gossett Jr., Mark 
Humphrey, and Stuart Margolin. Screenplay by Kevin 
Elders and Sidney J. Furie. Dir. Furie. R. 7, 33, 67,

Tom Ropelewski. Dir. Pen Densham. R. 112, 530 

LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM— (1 hr. 34 min.; 1988) Exca- 
vations at a small English village turn up some very 
strange discoveries. With Amanda Donohoe, Cather- 
ine Oxenberg, and Sammi Davis. Written and direct- 
ed by Ken Russell. R. 6, 51 

THE LAND BEFORE TIME— (1 hr. 13 min.; 1988) An ani- 
mated feature, set 150 million years ago, about the 
young dinosaurs who populated the earth. Screenplay 
by Stu Krieger. Dir. Don Bluth. G. 20, 24, 52, 106, 
111, 218, 219, 220, 300, 303, 304, 306, 312, 406,

★ THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST— (2 hrs. 40 min.; 
1988) A furiously earnest and emotionally demanding 
film — certainly neither lurid nor blasphemous. Martin 
Scorsese, adapting a 1955 Nikos Kazantzakis novel, 
has put the blood and the body — the suffering — back 
into the story of the Passion of Christ. Jesus (Willem 
Dafoe), terrified by visions and dreams, resists God's 
call; and since God never makes his intentions clear, 
this Christ is neurotically unsure of himself, a modern 
man — our brother — who must will his necessary but 
appalling end on the cross. Before he dies, he fanta- 
sizes a normal life with wife and children — that is the 
Devil's last temptation. Some of the exchanges be- 
tween Jesus and Judas (Harvey Keitel), who has been 
turned into Christ's best friend, have a contemporary 
sound, but the movie is generally powerful and fresh. 
It's fiercely, dauntingly exotic, yet familiar at the same 
time, and the Crucifixion, experienced by a man who 
suffers as we do, is terrifying. With Barbara Hershey 
as Mary Magdalene. Paul Schrader wrote the screen- 
play. Cinematography by Michael Ballhaus. 
(8/29/88) R. 41, 910 

LITTLE D0RRIT— (6 hrs., 1988) Consisting of two three- 
hour-long films, "Nobody's Fault" and "Little Dor- 
rit's Story," this is a classic retelling of Dickens's story 
of the hapless Arthur Clennam and the strong-willed 
Amy Dorrit. With Derek Jacobi, Alec Guinness, and 
Joan Greenwood. Adapted for the screen and directed 
by Christine Edzard. G. 46 

MADAME SOUSATZKA— (2 hrs. 2 min.; 1988) Shirley 
MacLaine gives an egotistical performance in an ego- 



tistical role as an emigre' piano teacher who falls in 
love with her young virtuosos, bullying them merci- 
lessly and attempting to save them from the disaster (it 
was her disaster) of giving a concert before they are 
ready. The movie, written by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, 
from a novel by B e r nice Rubens, and directed by John 
Schlesinger, is the kind of dear old thing that rightly 
went out of fashion some yean ago: Russian piano 
teacher beached in London, surrounded by elderly 
people holding on to gentility in a philistine world; 
lots of music, food, wine; teacher and Mama battling 
over handsome young virtuoso. But MacLaine burns 
through the tremulous sensitivity. With Navin 
Chowdhryastheyoungwhiz.Shabana Azmi as his ava- 
ricious mother, and Twiggy, who is quite charming, 
as a girl hanging on to the pop-music scene. 
(10/31/88) PG-13. 5, 43, 53, 533, 634, 962 

* MARRIED TO THE MOB— (1 hr. 43 min.; 1988) Mi- 
chelle Pfeiffer is Mafia wife Angela De Marco in this 
altogether pleasant Jonathan Demme comedy. In her 
Mineola (Babylon?) palace, Angela lives surrounded 
by hot furniture. Tired of blood money, Angela wants 
out. When her slick Mafia-hitman husband is 
"iced" — murdered — by Mafia boss Tony "The Ti- 
ger" Russo (Dean Stockwell), she tries to lose herself 
on the Lower East Side, but neither Tony nor the FBI 
will leave her alone. As a gung-ho young Fed who 
falls in love with Angela, Matthew Modinc is goofily 
charming; he gives the role an athletic charge. Married 
to the Mob is slapstick romantic comedy, borne aloft by 
Demme's love of kitsch. These mobsters are aristocrats 
of American junk, and this movie is their ironic me- 
morial. (8/15/88) R. 4, 511 

MATADOR— (1 hr. 47 min.; 1988) In Spanish, Eng. subti- 
tles. Reviewed in this issue. 11 

MYSTIC PIZZA — (1 hr. 42 min.; 1988) The lives and 
loves of three working-class Portuguese girls in Mys- 
tic, Connecticut, or what's known in current 
Hollywoodspeak as a "relationship picture" (i.e., a 
movie done as a soap opera). Produced independently, 
it has a gentler touch and a little more "heart" than a 
studio film. There's the pizza parlor where everyone is 
pan of one big family; a good girl (Annabeth Gish) 
who is entering Yale and has a painful first experience 
of love; her beautiful sister (Julie Roberts), who seems 
to be stupid and sluttish but is actually shrewd and 
honorable; and their gurgling friend (Lili Taylor), a 
little dynamo who, in a contempo role reversal, treats 
her marriage-hungry boyfriend as a sex object (he 
doesn't like it). Amiable, harmless, and entirely sec- 
ond-rate. Written by Amy Jones, Perry Howze, Ran- 
dy Howze, and Alfred Uhry. Directed by Donald Pe- 
trie. (11/7/88) R. 11. 21. 37. 48. 66. 85. 112. 210,

1969 — (1 hr. 33 min.; 1988) Two college boys, one a 
pragmatist and the other a poet, both take a moral 
stand on the Vietnam War. With Robert Downey Jr., 
Kiefer Sutherland, and Bruce Dern. Written and di- 
rected by Ernest Thompson. R. 218, 219, 302, 304, 
625, 634 

OLIVER AND C0MPANV-(1 hr. 12 min.; 1988) An or- 
phaned kitten named Oliver is taken in by a pack of 
misfit mutts and their human master, Fagin. Featuring 
the voices of Joey Lawrence, Billy Joel, and Cheecn 
Marin. Animation screenplay by Jim Cox, Timothy J. 
Disney, and James Mangold. Dir. George Scribner. G. 
21, 40, 51, 66, 400, 511 

PUNCHLINE— (2 hrs. 3 min.; 1988) Tom Hanks well cast 
as an egotistical young comic who works off his hos- 
tility on the audience; Sally Field miserably miscast as a 
New Jersey housewife dying to perform. Held is cer- 
tainly convincing as a woman who can't tell a joke, 
but when Tom Hanks teaches her how to be funny 
and she begins (onscreen) to get laughs, she still puts 
pauses in her lines, as if she were explaining the jokes, 
and casts agonized glances at the audience, almost beg- 
ging people not to punch her. Field sinks the movie 
like a stone. David Seltzer, who both wrote and di- 
rected, started out to make a film about stand-up com- 
edy, and wound up making a movie about how nice 
everyone is. Seltzer, an up-from-TV-movies person, is 
a nobility junkie. (10/10/88) R. 25, 54, 65, 514,

SALAAM BOMBAY) — (1 hr. 53 min.; 1988) A good mov- 
ie, but far from a great one. A ten-year-old country 
boy, Krishna (Shafiq Syed), abandoned by his family, 
I makes his way to the city and lives among the street

children, prostitutes, and pimps at the bottom of the 
urban pile. He is bright ana resourceful, but the milieu 
he lives in is casually vicious. By the end of the movie, 
we think that he will survive only if he learns to stop 
caring for others and look after himself. The young 
director, Mini Nair, who was born in India but educat- 
ed in America, has limited dramatic resources, and she 
doesn't bring anything terribly individual to the story. 
The movie has a generic, almost impersonal feeling. 
There are two exceptionally skilled and attractive per- 
formers — Nana Patekar, who plays the cruel yet self- 
doubting Baba, a handsome man who thinks he's too 
good to oe a pimp, and Aneeta Kanwar as the prosti- 
tute Rekha, who loses her little girl (Baba is the fa- 
ther) to a state school for children. The breakup of this 
family is the most touching thing in the movie. The 
children are actual street children. 81 

SPIKE OF BENSONHURST— (1 hr. 41 min.; 1988) A 
street-smart kid from Bensonhurst dreams of becom- 
ing a boxing champ, but the daughter of the local Ma-

Sasha Mitchell, Ernest Borgnine, and Maria Patillo.

* THE THIN BLUE LINE— (1 hr. 54 min.; 1988) A strange 
and unsettling movie, part documentary, part fiction, 
part murder investigation. In Dallas in 1976, police 
officer Robert Wood was shot and killed while pull- 
ing over a car. For over a decade, a man named Ran- 
dall Adams has been sitting in state prison in Texas, 
convicted of the murder on the basis of testimony that 
is very likely false. Documentary-maker Errol Morris 
has taken apart the prosecution's case, breaking it 
down into its components and then reconstituting it in 
lyrical-didactic style. The movie becomes a demon- 
stration of the way "facts" can be distorted to create a 
pseudo-reality. In the end, the movie is dreamy and 
contemplative, a nightmare vision of the way false- 
hoods of many varieties can combine in a force no less 
awesome than fate. (9/5/88) PG-13. 81 

THINGS CHANCE — (1 hr. 40 min.; 1988) David Mamet's 
new movie is a very minor comedy about honor and 
treachery. An elderly shoe-shine boy, Gino (Don 
Ameche), persuaded by the Chicago Mafia to take the 
fall for a crime that he didn't commit, spends a week- 
end in Lake Tahoe with the minor mobster assigned to 
guard him, Jerry (Joe Mantegna), and is mistaken for a 
big-time hood. Suddenly doors open to the two bum- 
blers, Gino and Jerry. Gino's silence is assumed to be 
the reticence of power; his simplicities about shoes and 
fishing are taken as cryptically brilliant advice on how 
to run a Mafia family. Mamet amuses himself with the 
grave ceremonies of Mafia style — the elaborate proto- 
col, the codes and traditions buried in silence. But 
Things Change is very thin stuff — little more than an- 
ecdote. It turns out that when Mamet drops his nasti- 
ness and cynicism, very little is left behind. In this 
movie, he falls all the way to routine farce (will Gino 
and Jerry be found out?), which he carries off with less 
energy than an experienced hack director. (11/7/88)

* WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT— (1 hr. 36 min.; 1988) 
A great, sad, amazingly soulful movie that captures 
everything we've ever loved or hated about cartoons. 
In Hollywood, in 1947, the cartoon characters — 
known as Toons — are just working actors like every- 
one else. At the end of the work day they go home to 
Toontown, a ghetto entirely realized in animation 
that, for humans, is like Harlem in the twenties — se- 
ductive, irrepressible, dangerous. An alcoholic private 
eye (Bob Hoskins), who feels guilty about no longer 
loving the Toons (he thinks one of them killed his 
brother), is engaged by a studio head to spy on a 
Toon's errant wife. What he finds out leads, in 
mock-film noir style, to a plot to destroy Toontown. 
Director Robert Zcmeckis has outdone himself; the 
movie is one of the masterpieces of the school of Spiel- 
berg, an epic joining of the old (i.e., classic Holly- 
wood) cartoon skills and the new pop sensibility. It's 
an exhausting but deeply satisfying experience. With 
Christopher Lloyd. Animation team headed by Rich- 
ard Williams. (7/1 1/88) PG. 36, 320, 533, 933 

* WINGS OF DESIRE— (2 hrs. 10 min.; 1988) In German, 
English, and French, Eng. subtitles. Wim Wenders 
achieves a mood of somber enchantment in this meta- 
physical fairy tale about angels who long to be men. 
The angels (Bruno Ganz is chief among them), invisi- 
ble to all but one another and the movie camera, listen 
to the thoughts of men and women. Divine eaves- 
droppers, they record the spiritual life of man. Yet the 
angels cannot enter history; they cannot prevent a 
teardrop from falling. Through all his gravity, Wend- 
ers is playing a movie game of considerable charm. 
Henri Alekan, the legendary French cinematographer, 
shoots the black-and-white footage in such a way as to 
make the figures vibrate against the ruined splendor of 
Berlin. Finally, Ganz becomes a man, accepting both 
pleasure and death, and joins with a beautiful trapeze 
artist. The movie has its longueurs, but it is a beauty. 
Wenders wrote the screenplay with playwright Peter 
Handke. (5/9/88) 4 

WITHOUT A CLUE— (1 hr. 47 min.; 1988) A new comedic 
turn on the Sherlock Holmes story — the supersleuth 
as a bungling inept and Dr. Watson as the real brains 
of the operation. With Michael Caine and Ben Kings- 
ley. Screenplay by Gary Murphy and Larry Strawther. 
Dir. Thorn Eberhardt. PG. 11, 40, 314, 505, 514, 
515, 526, 616, 621. 627. 636, 753, 760, 916 969 

WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN — (1 
hr. 28 min.; 1988) In Spanish, Eng. subtitles. Re- 
viewed in this issue. R. 82 



REVIVALS 



ANATOMY OF A MURDER— (2 hrs. 40 min.; 1959) In this 
highly satisfying courtroom melodrama, Otto Prem- 
inger worked in a semi-documentary style — different 
from his usual glossy mode — that turns out to be per- 
fectly suited to his morally ambiguous temperament. 
Wonderful performances by James Stewart as a small- 
town lawyer, Lee Remick as a beautiful rape victim, 
and Ben Gazzara as her surly husband. Insinuating 
jazz score by Duke Ellington. 2 

BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK— (1 hr. 22 min.; 1955) The 
taut, thrilling tale of one terror-filled day in the life of 
a tiny desert town, with a mysterious stranger at the 
center of the action. Fine performances by Spencer 
Tracy (minus an arm) and Robert Ryan. Dir. John 
Sturges. 47 

BAND OF OUTSIDERS— (1 hr. 35 min.; 1964) In French, 
Eng. subtitles. One of Jean-Luc Godard's best. Three 
young people (Anna [Carina, Sami Frey, Claude Bras- 
seur) play at love and crime, pretending to be charac- 
ters in a movie, and by degrees they are drawn into 
actual crimes. Lyrical, witty, finally shocking. 8 

BLACKMAIL (1929) — (1 hr. 26 min.) Alfred Hitchcock's 
first talkie still holds up after all these years. It con- 
cerns a young woman who is confronted by a black- 
mailer after murdering the man who attempted to 
rape her. With Anny Ondra, Sara Allgood, and Cyril 
Ritchard. 8 

LE DERNIER COMBAT— (1 hr. 30 min.; 1983) A science- 
fiction adventure set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland of 
deserts and desolate cities where people have lost the 
ability to speak. With Pierre Jolivet, Jean Bouise, Fritz 
Wepper, Jean Reno. Dir. Luc Besson. 9 

DINNER AT EIGHT— (1 hr. 53 min.; 1933) Still the best of 
those all-star vehicles, thanks to some of the sharpest 



MOVIES 

comedy timing you'll ever see. Be prepared, however, 
to put up with the corny serious portions with John 
and Lionel Barrymore. With Marie Dressier, Jean 
Harlow, Billie Burke, and Wallace Beery. Dir. 
George Cukor. 8 
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE— (2 hrs. 6 min.; 1962) 
An extraordinarily vital, viciously funny political sat- 
ire — really a send-up of the whole Cold War period — 
written and played with bite unimaginable today. 
Starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, 
and Angela Lansbury. Written by George Axelrod, 
from Richard Condon's novel. Dir. John Franken- 
heimer. 2 

MASCUUN FEMININ— (1 hr. 43 min.; 1965) In French, 
Eng. subtitles. This incredibly charming comedy by 
Jean-Luc Godard is about dating and courtship rituals 
among Parisian youths in the sixties — "the children of 
Marx and Coca-Cola." Godard captured evanescent 
cultural styles with such precision and love that his 
movie now seems like a sixteenth-century lyric 
poem — an expression of a lost age. 8 

AN OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS — l hr. 42 min.; 1951) 
Carol Reed's little-seen but great version of an early 
Conrad novel, still one of the best literary adaptations 
in movie history. It retains paragraphs of Conrad's ex- 
traordinary purple-prose dialogue, delivered by a great 
cast — Trevor Howard, Ralph Richardson, Robert 
Morley, Wendy Hiller, and the native girl Kerima, 
who is largely silent. It's one of Conrad's meditations 
on civilization and savagery, set on a Malayan island. 8 

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES— (1 hr. 32 min.; 
1987) Steve Martin, easily the most virile of comic 
actors, is forced to share an entire movie with roly- 
poly John Candy in this misjudged burlesque from 
John Hughes. Martin is a snobby Chicago marketing 
executive; Candy is a dumb sweetheart of a salesman. 
Trying to get home for Thanksgiving after a business 
trip to New York, the two men, strangers, make a 
forced landing in Wichita and wind up spending a few 
days together on the road. Outraged at this forced in- 
timacy with a social inferior, Martin's executive glow- 
ers with rage, but the salesman needs friendship, so the 
executive recants. Martin stops being nasty (and fun- 
ny), and John Candy is reined in, too. 9 

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK-(1 hr. 55 min.; 1981) Ste- 
ven Spielberg's pure-fun extravaganza is like a thirties 
serial, only grander, funnier, and blessedly free of in- 
terruptions. Harrison Ford is the archaeologist/adven- 
turer hero, Indiana Jones, and Karen Allen is his 
spunky ex-girlfriend. The thrills are larger and more 
violent than in old movies, and they come much fast- 
er, with one jolt linked to the next in a rhythmically 
charged procession. The only sour element: the inspi- 
rational religioso stuff at the end, which feels out of 
place and cynical. 9 

ROXANNE— (1 hr. 46 min.; 1987) Steve Martin is the star 
and screenwriter of this charmingly casual modern 
American version of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Ber- 
gerac. Cyrano, now called C. D. Bales, is not a dueling 
cavalier but a resourceful fire chief in a small north- 
western ski resort. Daryl Hannah is Roxanne, an as- 
tronomer, Rick Rossovich is a dumb jock who, too 
flustered to woo her, allows CD. to speak in his place. 
The movie has an airy mood, closer in tone to the 
Shakespeare of A Midsummer Night's Dream than to 
Rostand. And Martin has never been freer, looser, 
more inventive. With Shelley Duvall and Michael J. 
Pollard. Dir. Fred Schepisi. 9 

STAR WARS— (2 hrs. 1 min.; 1977) The George Lucas 
winner, which can be enjoyed, depending on your age 
and predilection, as a grand romantic adventure or a 
parody of Buck Rogers-type serials. The best scene: 
the intergalactic bar, where the furry, snouted, and 
clawed flotsam and jetsam of a hundred stars come to 
rub elbows. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, 
Carrie Fisher, and Alec Guinness. 9 

SUBWAY— (1 hr. 44 min.; 1985) In French, Eng. subti- 
tles. A high-glitz thriller with an unlikely setting — 
the Paris Metro. Beneath neon lights, a variety of 
thieves, bums, musicians, and poetic fatalists make a 
life for themselves while escaping the transit police. 
Their leader, played by Christopher Lambert, is a 
daredevil ripoff artist, the last existentialist in Paris. 
Isabelle Adjani, a bored rich lady, falls for him when 
he steals valuable papers from her house; she then 
sweeps into the Metro in jewels and furs, and the two 
have enigmatic, doomed exchanges on deserted plat- 
forms. Dir. Luc Besson. 9

I met aguy last night on 




SM 



m^eallyspecialguy. . . 
^flalled540-5465* 

%pvith my computer and 

before I knew it, 1 was tapping ^ 
away, zipping messages off 
to five guys at once and having 
the time of my life. But this 
one guy, he's really special. It Sm 
almost seems like he's there to 
tuck me in at night. 

Funny how you can get to 
know someone so quickly. I used 
to think I was shy, butAline SM 
has changed all that. Since it's all 
anonymous and one-on-one, people 
don't hesitate; they're friendly, 
intimate and things happen fast. 

My friends all want to know 
where I found him— and I haven't 
even met the guy yet. 

Let's see. ..his last message read, 
"Dinner tonight at 8?" "Love to!" 
I sent back. And who knows?

NOVEMBER 21, 1988/NEW YORK 195 



NEW YORK MAGAZINE COMPETITION 

COMPETITION NUMBER 633 BY MARY ANN MADDEN 



Grant Tinker, Peter Pan, Skippy, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, 

J. Edgar Hoover, Henrik Dam, Rhett Butler, Robert E. Lee, Grant Tinker 

Above, free association. Competitors are invited to provide a list of ten 
familiar names (each related to the preceding and following), for a total of 
ten names, including bookends. 



Results of Competition 630, in which you 
were asked to invent the unappealing first 
sentence of a best-selling novel. 

Report: It was a dark and stormy night. Bang, 
bang, bang, bang, bang: Three shots rang out 
and I was off on the shortest report of my life. 
To wit: You displayed a penchant for women 
of shady character and shining achievement, 
captains of industry, and soldiers of fortune. 
Also, a certain je sais quoi; the ability to mis- 
read rules. The dreaded more-than-one-sen- 
tence opening: those who submitted such en- 
tries have been rounded up with the usual 
suspects and will be disarmed. Meanwhile, 
deal, if you will, with these. They're disarm- 
ing, too. 

First Prizes of two-year subscriptions to 
"New York" to: 

My name is lennifer. 

Natalie fubelirer, Sharon, Pa. 

My gaze began at her perfect feet, each vo- 
luptuous toe bursting with erotic promise, 
and then traced the line of her delicate but 
seductively supple ankles set so perfectly be- 
neath criminally smooth calves and saucily 
ovoid scar-free knees; and I continued up, 
up, up, hungrily eyeing her insanely inviting 
thighs jutting insolently out of firm, round 
hips set with exquisite symmetry below her 
flat, taut belly with its impudent, protruding 
navel; and, as my knees began to weaken as I 
continued up her thorax, appreciating each 
flawlessly placed rib, her epiccreamy, perter- 
than-pert breasts, willowy arms and ivory 
shoulders, I pondered the violent, violet gash 
in the middle of her perfect neck and won- 
dered how much more beguiling the whole 
effect would have been if she had had a head. 

Ray hey, N.Y.C. 

Is there anything more wonderful than a fur- 
ry pup unless it's the smell of fresh bread? 

Nancy Moavenzadeh, 
Shaker Heights, Ohio 

Runner-up Prizes of one-year subscriptions 
to "New York" to: 

As I reached across the Biedermeier com- 
mode to pour myself another Stoli from the 
Steuben carafe (a gift from Prince Constan- 
tin), my hand began to tremble uncontrolla- 
bly, a sign, I later realized, that my evil twin 
had escaped from his cell on Devil's Island, 
intent on righting life's injustice. 

Larry Laiken, N.Y.C. 

I could begin this story with cousin Mason's 
funeral or the strange letter from Lavinia, but 



either way, the reader will wonder at my 
credulity. 

Selma Ellis, Glenview, III. 

Guy de Blois, as usual, bowed low before the 
prince, but in a trice, his concealed dirk 
found its mark and plunged 20 million 
Frenchmen into mourning, recriminations, 
and war. 

Richard Burke, Ho-Ho-Kus. N.J. 

And Honorable Mention to: 

"Not for nothing was I named a Heroine of 
Soviet Socialist Republic," thought 
Irina Petrovska Kalinina as, tossing back her 
gorgeous blonde tresses.she pushed her way 
through the crowd of gaping foreign tourists 
and strode confidently across Red Square to- 
ward the Administration Offices. 

Oliver M. Neshamkin, M.D., N.Y.C. 

From the rock upon which Eben and his Jo 
gazed, the clouds scudding the sunset were 
markers which Heaven arranged to show 
them all — even the tiny babe, which the wife 
now held in her arms — the new land, clearer 
in their minds than on their rough map. 

Bill laker, Harpursville, N.Y. 

Eyeing my husband's 25th-anniversary gift, a 
bracelet of emeralds and diamonds, I smile at 
my careworn mother's words: "The old rich 
marry rich and they stay married" — because 
I was broke when I married old-rich Jason, 
and I've outlasted four of his mistresses. 

Eileen King, San Francisco, Calif. 

Detective Fogarty correctly inferred that 
the words "damaged goods" pinned to the 
label of dead plastic surgeon Remir Ospana- 
to's blue blazer were not a cosmetic touch, 
but the last desperate act of a scarred 
soul. 

Alan Levine, Massapequa, N.Y. 

I love my wife and never intended to stray, 
but there was a certain something about the 
aquamarine-haired usherette in candy-cane 
slacks (with a panty line visible from three 
states) that caught my eye. 

Claude Dukenfeld, Cambridge, Mass. 

Desuetude invaded my consciousness, dis- 
turbed my rhythm, until Maman yelled, 
"Marcel, blow out that damn lantern and go 
to sleep." 

Bill Zimmerman, Cherry Hill, N.J. 

Drawing on the mysterious energy imparted 
to it by the unseen moon, a singularly un- 
spectacular wave broke on the sandy shore, 
bringing with it the badly decomposed body 
of Derek S'Anville. 

Judith Klein, E. Brunswick, N.J. 



"Born wivin the sound of Bow Bells, you've 
come a long way, Baby." Baby thought as he 
surveyed the fabulous kingdom he'd carved 
out of the jungle, "an' none of it 'ardly ma'ers 
wivout love." 

Netta Heimann, N.Y.C. 

It wasn't true at all, of course; none of it had 
ever been true. 

Susan H. Llewellyn, N.Y.C. 

"I have ridden fan my horse is flecked with 
foam!" bellowed Prince Myles on his return 
from Windemere, but meat and fresh raiment 
were not to be provided until King Gary was 
done with the concubines. 

Scott Nash, Brookline, Mass. 

"This gossamer gown is so truly you. Madam, 
with its swirling, cascading, wondrously spir- 
ited descent, like a waterfall, over your classi- 
cally contoured body!" enthused jacques, 
her couturier. 

Margaret D. Dale, Longmeadow. Mass. 

The gentleman in the green suit acted pretty 
frisky for a guy with a pair of scissors sticking 
out of his back. 

Nancy Gibson-Nash, Brookline. Mass. 

He greeted the tidal wave of applause, which 
erupted like a clap of thunder, with a sweet 
smile, a broad grin, and then uncontrollable 
laughter. 

Albert C. Hurwit, M.D., 
Hartford. Conn. 

The night Guy Merriweather's My Mother's 
Son closed, after thirteen peformances, Guy 
locked himself in the secret room behind the 
painting of Tarquin raping Lucretia, re- 
moved from its crimson wrappings the wax 
image of Frank Rich, and held it over a flick- 
ering flame. 

A. Weiss, N.Y.C. 

It was obvious that Cassandra was a unique 
woman, having become an accomplished 
sackbut player before her ninth birthday. 

Sheila Tischenkel, Miami. Fla. 

Brad crashed his 1988 red Ferrari into a tree, 
and when he came to, a pretty.blonde-haired, 
blue-eyed girl in her late teens was staring at 
him in her poodle skirt and white sox, while 
her portable Philco radio blared Bill Haley 
and the Comets' "Rock Around the Clock." 

Sal Rosa. N.Y.C. 

The early-morning Los Angeles sun, peeking 
through the Venetian blinds, was playing a 
tune on Sgt. Matt Brady's face as he slowly 
rubbed his eyes and cleared his head in prep- 
aration for the most important day in his 32 
years on earth. 

Cassie Tully, Spring Valley. N.Y. 

Jeremy sensed it, the minute he woke up, that 
she was gone and he was alone in the condo 
with only her forgotten Filofax to remind him 
of the evening before.

My job's gilding gold, but I paint lilies for 
fun. 

Jan Leary, Chicago, III. 

I pulled back the sleeve of my Armani and 
glanced at the Rolex Oyster; it was 
time to get out of the Mercedes and make the 
switch. 

Brian Planle, Fords, N.J. 

As the celebrated Lady Rebecca Bosworth 
stood in the wings awaiting her cue, she 
turned and saw him — old, disheveled, but 
still with the same stabbing eyes, piercing her 
from the shadows, and she was suddenly 
transported to a small theatre in the outskirts 
of London where first she met the notorious 
Geoffrey Harcourt. 

Elizabeth Martin, Lyndhurst, Ohio 

Laughing, he removed his glass eye, rolled it 
across the table, and began to reminisce 
about the CIA. 

Farah Walters, Moreland Hills, Ohio 

"Nuke a broccoli souffle in the micro while I 
cleanse off a sweat I've worked up sculpt- 
ing," shouted Ray Del Rage, our town's cur- 
rent king of Punk-Beaux Arts. 

lack Ryan, N.Y.C. 

"Not again!" Enoch thought aloud as he 
watched the blinking, disc-shaped spaceship 
settle silently in the north field, behind the 
Rayburns' barn. 

Viktor Blume, Sayville, N.Y. 

He awoke groggily, wondering vaguely how 
he'd got cheese spread in his eyebrows and 
what he was doing clad only in a frilly pink 
negligee in the cold, damp bus station in 
Tijuana. 

Ogden Nield, N.Y.C. 

Sitting at a sidewalk cafe in the Piazza Na- 
vona, sipping espresso from a white porce- 
lain cup, watching the Fiats play bumper tag, 
Skip Myers thought it was a lot different from 
Monument Circle in Indianapolis. 

Marilyn Crystal, Scarsdale, N.Y. 

The pale young beauty whispered, "Dr. 
Frantz?" as she timidly entered the spacious 
office. "I have just inherited a hundred mil- 
lion dollars, and I want you to transform me 
into a completely different woman than I am 
now." 

Dolly Hecht, N.Y.C. 

With dawn, and the promise of a new day 
fraught with agonizing decisions less than 
two hours away, Monique stirred fitfully in 
bed as she reached her hand out for the com- 
forting warmth that should have been Ian. 

Miles Klein, E. Brunswick, N.J. 

In her open convertible, glorious blonde hair 
streaming, little did Moira realize that there 
was no admiration in the haunted eyes be- 
hind the dark glass of the adjacent great 
limousine. 

Raymond E. Benenson, Niskayuna, N.Y. 

Ticky (a childhood nickname he'd always de- 
tested but never outgrown) is like a man se- 



lected from the dessert cart: pretty and frothy 
on the outside and lacking nutritional value 
within— how bizarre that F. Tickworth De- 
marest should have become president of the 
United States. 

Bob Shafarman, W. Orange, N.J. 
sp. ment.: Henry F. Beechhold, 
W. Trenton, N.J. 

In her semi-conscious sleep, Marcia heard it 
again from Tom's slightly ajar lips — the 
sound of her husband's sleep-induced huski- 
ness as he called out not her name . . . but 
that of Penelope, her sister. 

Myron Leiman, D.D.S., 
Jackson Heights, N.Y. 

I realize now how they traced me: A comput- 
er glitch at MI6, picked up by Interpol, auto- 
matically slid over to both the FBI and the 
CIA; only what I couldn't understand was 
why Natasha was in my dreary Kensington 
bed-sitter that night, stark naked and sud- 
denly speaking fluent English. 

James Elward, N.Y.C. 

Like, don't tell me you like know what 
it's like to be like me, you know, like beauti- 
ful and rich in N.Y.C. with like nothing to do 
but like learn to like myself as my analyst 
says. 

Laura Shea, Brookline, Mass. 

Now the story can be told of how a strange 
creature was killing off an entire shipful of 
men, one by one, but in the end, it turned out 
to be the captain doing it all. 

Chris Lewnes, Brooklyn 

Wily and experienced Phil Morgan had 
doubts about what he was doing playing stud 
poker at 3 a.m. in a joint called Mom's with a 
guy called Doc. 

Carl Wolfson, Spring Valley, N.Y. 

Tymbre wrestled silently with Wamsutta 
sheets as the entire N.Y.C. Sanitation De- 
partment played outside her pre (Vietnam) 
war building; hours before the alarm would 
ring, confusion clogged her sleep concerning 
tonight's party — did Tory say poker or polka? 

JeffTenzer. N.Y.C. 

Does art really imitate life or life art, 
Isabella mused dreamily as she daubed 
ocher highlights onto the serpent's tail that 
snaked down the naked thigh of her supine 
lover, the wet, glistening oils mingling with 
the moist sweat on the body of the man who 
had just made love to her to the soothing 
drone of cellos anchoring Pachelbel's Canon, 
the perfect image of the spiraling circle of 
their lives. 

Carol W. Rosenberg, South Bend, Ind. 

Neat, clean, bright, polite, obedient, back 
then, as a child, she seemed to . . . Brevity 
had always been acceptable. 

Sue Moloney, West Milford, N.J.

is Enriched Flavor.™ Only Merit has it. Light one up. 
Chances are, you'll love it.
